Career

Jani began his film career as a dancer in Telugu films and on ETV's Telugu dance reality show Dhee. He was later given the opportunity to choreograph for 2009 Telugu film Drona. Actor Ram Charan hired him as the choreographer for 2012 Telugu film Racha and continued to employ him for choreography in all his subsequent films. Jani has also worked as a choreographer for other actors such as Pawan Kalyan, Allu Arjun, N. T. Rama Rao Jr., Ram Pothineni and Ravi Teja. He has also sung a song dedicated to Ram Charan.^[6]

In 2014, Hindi actor Salman Khan appointed Jani as the choreographer for Jai Ho. He also choreographs award ceremonies and continues to work on feature films.^[7] He has been a choreographer and mentor on two television reality dance shows. His awards include Filmfare Awards, CineMAA Awards and South Indian International Movie Awards.^[5] Since 2017, he has served as a judge on Telugu television reality dance shows, including Neethone Dance on the Star Maa.^[8]

In 2018, Jani choreographed the film MLA.^[9] In the same year, he also assisted Prabhudeva on the Tamil song "Rowdy Baby" from the Maari 2. The song became a viral hit for its choreography across the Indian subcontinent and beyond.^[10] In 2020, he received acclaim for his choreography of "Butta Bomma" from the Telugu film Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo. The rolling step in the music video became widely popular and was recreated by many celebrities and social media users.^[11] This song also became a hit.^[12] He has officially joined the Jana Sena Party in January 2024,^[13]^[14] but was later suspended from the party due to sexual harassment allegations against him.^[15]^[16]

Personal life

Jani married Ayesha, a classical dancer, and they have a son and a daughter.^[17]

Alleged sexual assault and harassment

A complaint was registered at the Raidurgam Police Station, Hyderabad, in September 2024, against Jani for alleged sexual assault and harassment by an employee.^[18] The complaint was given in a sealed cover due to the complainant being a minor (under the age of 18) at the time of the alleged crime.^[19]^[18] He was arrested and taken into custody by Telangana Police in Goa, India on 19 September 2024.^[20] On 24 October 2024, Telangana High Court granted him bail.^[21]^[22]^[23]
