Rachanaa Jain who is a British Singer and Actress is shining in a Stunning Peacock Royale Lehenga with 6 Metres dramatic train along with Gold Temple Jewellery on the red carpet at Cannes Film Festival designed by Smrutha Santhosh, Founder of Styling by Wow Vastra.

This lehenga is designed as a tribute to heritage and divinity, the ensemble captivated the global stage with its bold narrative and meticulous artistry. Featuring a dramatic train made from cruelty-free artificial peacock feathers, the look embodied symbolism, elegance, and storytelling.

Styling by Wow Vastra the Couture Label has the tagline of “The Complete Look”. This philosophy defines Styling by Wow Vastra. Smrutha’s signature niche lies in creating Indo-Western outfits using authentic Indian fabrics — especially silks like Kanchivaram and Banarasi — and transforming them into silhouettes that blend tradition with modernity. From concept to completion, Smrutha offers head-to-toe styling, curating complete looks that include custom outfits, jewelry, and accessories — all available for purchase through her brand.

Styling by Wow Vastra made an unforgettable red-carpet debut. Bridging traditional South Indian craftsmanship with modern international flair, Smrutha unveiled a masterpiece that was as much about identity as it was about fashion.

The creation was a labour of deep craftsmanship:

• 240 hours of handwoven Kanchivaram silk
• 250 hours of intricate Aari embroidery with peacock and temple motifs
• 150 hours dedicated to feather artistry
• Antique-style temple jewelry engraved with goddess icons
• Every detail reflected reverence for culture, while embracing the language of global couture.

“I didn’t want to make just a dress,” says Smrutha. “I wanted to tell a story — one that honours our roots while imagining our future.”

Her clients don’t just wear outfits — they wear an experience, one rooted in culture and elevated by style.

Beyond Cannes, Smrutha also designed costumes for Rachanaa Jain’s upcoming international film “Bling Power,” which is a fusion of Bollywood and Hollywood reinforcing her growing influence at the intersection of fashion and cinema.

For her own Cannes appearance, Smrutha wore a contemporary-draped Ahimsa silk Kanchivaram saree, styled with structured shoulders and antique temple jewelry — a striking balance of strength, sustainability, and softness. Her look paid homage to timeless Indian craftsmanship while celebrating the empowered global woman.

But behind the glamour lies a deeper mission.

Through Wow Vastra, Smrutha collaborates with women artisans from rural and underrepresented communities, many of whom are rebuilding their lives after personal hardships. By offering dignified employment, skill development, and creative collaboration, she ensures that each garment carries the hands and hearts of resilient women.

“This is not just fashion,” she says. “It’s purpose-driven design.”

As Styling by Wow Vastra steps onto the global stage, it’s clear: this is South Indian culture not referenced, but leading. Rooted in tradition, designed for the future, and styled with soul — this is couture with a conscience.

तेलुगु सिनेमा में इन दिनों पौराणिक कहानियों की वापसी ने एक नई ऊर्जा भर दी है। इस नवजागरण के केंद्र में अब चर्चा है नागा चैतन्य की—क्या वह अपने दादा अक्किनेनी नागेश्वर राव (ANR) और पिता नागार्जुन की परंपरा को आगे बढ़ाते हुए पौराणिक भूमिकाओं की ओर रुख कर रहे हैं?

उनकी आगामी फिल्म #NC24 को लेकर पहले से ही अटकलें तेज हैं कि इसमें पौराणिक तत्व होंगे। अब यह भी खबरें हैं कि वह एक और बड़ी पौराणिक फिल्म में मुख्य भूमिका निभा सकते हैं—एक ऐसा प्रोजेक्ट जो उनके दिल के बहुत करीब बताया जा रहा है और जिसमें उनके आध्यात्मिक विश्वासों की झलक भी देखने को मिल सकती है।

अक्किनेनी परिवार की सिनेमा में पौराणिक विषयों को लेकर एक गहरी और समृद्ध परंपरा रही है। महान अभिनेता ANR ने श्री कृष्णार्जुन युद्धम्, श्री राम राज्यं जैसी फिल्मों में राम और कृष्ण जैसे देवताओं की भूमिकाएं निभाईं और संत तुकाराम व रामदासु जैसे संतों के चरित्रों को जीवंत किया।

इस विरासत को नागार्जुन ने आगे बढ़ाया—अन्नमय्या में उन्होंने संत-कवि अन्नमाचार्य का किरदार निभाया, वहीं ओम नमो वेंकटेशाय में हठीराम भवा जी की भूमिका निभाकर दर्शकों को आध्यात्मिकता से जोड़ा। श्री रामदासु, शिरडी साई, और जगद्गुरु आदि शंकराचार्य में भगवान शिव के रूप में उनकी उपस्थिति इस परंपरा को और भी मजबूत करती है।

अब, अगर नागा चैतन्य सचमुच पौराणिक सिनेमा की ओर कदम बढ़ा रहे हैं, तो यह केवल एक पारिवारिक परंपरा का निर्वाह नहीं होगा—यह उनके व्यक्तिगत आध्यात्मिक पक्ष और अभिनय के माध्यम से उसकी अभिव्यक्ति भी होगी।

#NC24 और संभावित नई पौराणिक फिल्म के साथ, नागा चैतन्य तेलुगु सिनेमा को न केवल विरासत के धरातल पर जोड़ रहे हैं, बल्कि उसे एक नए युग में ले जाने का संकेत भी दे रहे हैं। दर्शक अब उनकी इस नई यात्रा को देखने के लिए उत्सुक हैं—जहां श्रद्धा, परंपरा और कला का संगम एक नई चेतना लेकर आएगा।

यह एक नई शुरुआत हो सकती है—न केवल एक अभिनेता के लिए, बल्कि उस विरासत के लिए भी जिसने भारतीय सिनेमा को श्रद्धा और संस्कृति के सबसे पवित्र रूप दिए हैं।

एक्टर नागा चैतन्या अब एक और बेंच मार्क सेट करने की तैयारी में! अपने पिता और दादा की इस विरासत को बढ़ा रहे हैं शान से !

As Telugu cinema witnesses a renewed interest in mythological storytelling, speculation is rife that actor Naga Chaitanya may be stepping into a space deeply rooted in his family’s cinematic heritage, following in the footsteps of his grandfather ANR and father Nagarjuna? While #NC24 is rumored to have mythological elements, speculation suggests he might headline another major mythological film. This potential project, rumored to be close to his heart, could reflect his spiritual beliefs and offer a platform to express them through his craft.

The Akkineni lineage has a rich history with mythological cinema. ANR famously portrayed figures like Rama and Krishna in classics such as Sri Krishnarjuna Yuddam and Sri Rama Rajyam, also bringing saints like Tukaram and Ramadasu to life. Nagarjuna continued this legacy with acclaimed devotional biopics like Annamayya (as the composer-saint) and Om Namo Venkatesaya (as Hathiram Bhavaji), and also starred in Sri Ramadasu and Shirdi Sai. His appearance as Lord Shiva in Jagadguru Adi Sankara further cemented his engagement with spiritual themes.

With #NC24 and this potential new mythological venture, Naga Chaitanya seems poised to not only uphold his family’s cinematic heritage but also forge his own path, bringing his spiritual sensibilities to Telugu cinema. Audiences eagerly await his interpretation of these faith-based narratives, anticipating a new chapter in the Akkineni family’s enduring contribution to mythological storytelling.

Is Naga Chaitanya The New Torchbearer Of Mythological Cinema In The Akkineni Legacy?
