Universal Equality, Sacred Mantras & 11 Dramatic Avatars: Jai Ho Ramanuja Celebrates Grand Song Launch Ahead of Worldwide Release on October 25!
Chronicling the revolutionary life, reformist philosophy, and spiritual crusade of 11th-century philosopher-saint Sri Ramanujacharya, the devotional biographical drama Jai Ho Ramanuja is gearing up for a multi-lingual worldwide theatrical release on October 25, 2026. Directed by and starring multi-faceted filmmaker Lion Dr. Sai Venkat in the titular role, the film is bankrolled by Sai Prasanna and Pravallika under the Sudarshan Productions banner.
The film stands out as a rare pan-Indian spiritual undertaking, arriving simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, and Sanskrit. Marking a crucial promotional milestone, the team hosted a well-attended song launch ceremony in Hyderabad, drawing distinguished film personalities, community leaders, and spiritual patrons.
"He Demolished Caste Barriers with One Sacred Mantra" – Lion Dr. Sai Venkat
Reflecting on his spiritual calling to bring Ramanujacharya’s life to celluloid, director-actor Lion Dr. Sai Venkat spoke with deep emotion:
*"Sri Ramanujacharya was not just an ascetic; he was a fearless social reformer who declared that all human beings are fundamentally equal before the divine. In an era when temple entry was strictly guarded and restricted, he mounted a quiet revolution—questioning discrimination and initiating everyone into the sacred 'Om Namo Narayana' ashtakshari mantra. He proclaimed that devotion transcends birth and that every seeker is worthy of god's grace.
Taking on this project brought incredible blessings into my life, including giving me the means to donate ₹20 lakh to the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD). We deliberately took extra time in post-production because we refused to compromise on historical authenticity, sound design, or visual fidelity. We are bringing this timeless message to theatres on October 25th."*

TFPC Chairman Dr. Pratani Ramakrishna Goud: Showered praise on Sai Venkat for stepping away from routine commercial formulas: "Sai Venkat could have easily made a standard commercial entertainer to chase profits. Instead, he chose to immortalize the social and spiritual reforms of Ramanujacharya for our younger generation. That courage and conviction deserve immense applause."
-
Producer Rama Satyanarayana’s High Praise: "Just as NTR garu is permanently etched in our minds when we think of Lord Rama and Krishna, and Vijayachander garu when we picture Shirdi Sai Baba, audiences will forever remember Sai Venkat when they think of Ramanujacharya. Playing 11 distinct characters across a single narrative is a monumental artistic achievement."

Director Samudra & Producer Mohan Goud: Highlighted how Sai Venkat looks completely natural and dignified in the promotional posters, expressing confidence that the message of social unity will deeply touch contemporary cinephiles.
