Chakravarthy’s first stint was JD in ‘Shiva’ starring Nagarjuna. Ever since he played this dark-shaded role that has drawn attention, his first name was replaced by JD.

With an inherent prowess to portray such kind of roles, Charkravarthy is set to play an antagonist in ‘Jhosh’ the debut film of Nagachaithanya as hero. This produce of ‘Dil’Raju is also introducing Karthika daughter of yesteryear star actress Radhika as heroine.

During his early career JD played antagonist and later became a hero for a line of movies. Then he shifted to Bollywood associating himself with his mentor RGV.

Recently he returned to Telugu cinema, debuting as a director with ‘Homam’ which also brought forth his skills as a writer and music composer. ‘Siddham’ was his second as director also having him played a grey-shaded role. With an unending flare for such roles he was seen playing one recently in ‘Sarvam’ a Tamil film.

Does it sound like positive swing for the diminishing native talent in darker-shades of Telugu cinema, let us wait and watch.
