“RRR” star Ram Charan’s 16th film, currently identified as “RC16”, was released on Wednesday by his father, Telugu-language cinema megastar Chiranjeevi.
The film has been described as one that will take audiences on a “rural, emotional and rustic journey.” It will be directed by Buchi Babu Sana, who won best Telugu film at the Indian National Film Awards for her debut “Uppena” (2021). Sana previously worked as a writer and assistant director to “Pushpa” filmmaker Sukumar in the hit film “Rangasthalam” (2018).
“RC16” is being produced by Venkata Satish Kilaru for Vriddhi Cinemas and presented by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar through Sukumar Writings. Janhvi Kapoor (“Mili”) will star alongside Charan. Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman (“Slumdog Millionaire”) will provide the music. Chandrabose, who wrote the Oscar and Golden Globe winning song “Naatu Naatu” in “RRR” will pen the lyrics. Cinematography is by R. Rathnavelu (“Rangasthalam”), editing is by Antony L. Ruben (“Jawan”) and action choreography by Supreme Sunder (“Animal”). The team also includes art director Avinash Kolla (“Major”) and costume designer Deepali Noor (“Pushpa”).
Apart from the film crew, other luminaries present at the launch included Sukumar, S. Shankar, who is directing Charan’s next film, “Game Changer”, and producer Boney Kapoor (“Thunivu”), who said he plans to remake ” Uppena” in the Hindi language.
Sana said, “It is an honor to welcome everyone present, especially megastar Chiranjeevi. I must admit that I am overwhelmed by the esteemed guests and my esteemed mentor, Sukumar. I extend my gratitude to Ram Charan for this amazing opportunity that arose from my days as assistant director of ‘Rangasthalam’. “I am determined to make the most of it.”
