Anaswara and Mamitha Baiju continue to support each other
The Itllu Arjuna promotion comes after Anaswara was recently asked about her Super Sharanya co-star Mamitha Baiju.
Speaking about Baiju’s recent success, Anaswara said she was happy with how her co-star’s films had performed and expressed support for her career.
“I am rooting for her, we both are rooting for each other,”
Anaswara said.
The two actors previously appeared together in Super Sharanya, which remains one of the notable titles in Anaswara’s Malayalam filmography.
Anaswara Rajan’s upcoming projects
Alongside Itllu Arjuna, Anaswara is also attached to Kaaka, which features Chiranjeevi in the role of her father.
The film’s first glimpse introduced Chiranjeevi as K Satyam, a supervisor working in the aqua industry. The character is presented as a middle-class man focused on his work and family life.
Kaaka is scheduled for a January 13, 2027 theatrical release, placing it in the Sankranthi release window.
For Anaswara, the coming months therefore include projects across different film industries, following the recognition she has built through Malayalam cinema.
From Malayalam cinema to Telugu films
Anaswara made her Malayalam film debut with Udaharanam Sujatha and subsequently established herself through films including Thanneer Mathan Dinangal and Super Sharanya.
Her entry into Telugu cinema with Itllu Arjuna marks another step in her career as she expands into projects outside Malayalam.
The viral press-meet moment has now given the upcoming film an unexpected dose of online attention, with audiences sharing Anaswara’s candid reaction ahead of its release.
