Earlier on Monday, pictures of the RRR actor’s surprise visit to the sets of his father Chiranjeevi’s upcoming film, Acharya, had gone viral. Ram had met the film’s director Koratala Siva and the film’s production designer Suresh Selvarajan. Suresh had posted some pictures too. He had written: “Sir, even I get goosebumps whenever I think about what you said about the set. Your kind words of appreciation mean a lot to me. It makes me work even harder.”
Acharya is jointly produced by Ram Charan along with Niranjan Reddy of Matinee Entertainment.
Previously, Ram Charan along with his wife Upasana, Chiranjeevi and other close family members including Allu Arjun, had jetted off to Udaipur for the destination wedding of actor Niharika Konidela.
Incidentally, in early November, Chiranjeevi had also tested positive for Covid-19. A few days later, he had stated that he had tested negative after getting tested thrice. He had also revealed that his earlier result was due to a faulty PCR kit.
In RRR, Alia is paired with Ram Charan. The project, which also stars Jr NTR, Ajay Devgn and Shriya Saran, marks her Telugu and southern debut.
RRR, which is being made on a lavish budget, will be a fictional story set in the 1920s pre-independent era and it will be based on the lives of two real heroes and well-known revolutionaries – Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem
The makers of RRR unveiled the first glimpse of Ram Charan’s character via a special video in March. The video introduces Ram Charan as Alluri Seetharamaraju, and going by his khaki pants, it can be assumed that he plays a cop. Jr NTR’s voice introduces Ram Charan’s character.
In November, a video was released to introduce Jr NTR’s character of Komaram Bheem. Ram Charan gave a voice-over to the video. RRR, which will be released in five languages, is expected to hit the screens worldwide next year. The makers are yet to officially announce the release date.
