Ram Charan in talks with a bollywood director?

Ram Charan is currently immersed in the shooting of his upcoming film RC16, directed by Buchibabu Sana. Following the mixed results of Game Changer, it’s been reported that the star is now taking extra care in selecting his future projects. And now, a fresh update has surfaced about his next big venture.
According to Pinkvilla, Ram Charan is in advanced talks with Bollywood director Nikhil Nagesh Bhat, who is best known for his acclaimed film Kill. Reports suggest that Nikhil is working on a mythological epic based on a powerful character from Indian epics, and he is looking to cast Ram Charan in the lead. The pre-visualization of the film has already been completed, but the final green light from Ram Charan is still pending. If he said yes, the film most likely to be RC17 or RC18.
What adds to the buzz is that Nikhil Nagesh Bhat follows Ram Charan on Instagram — a noteworthy gesture since, while it’s common for Bollywood directors to follow stars from the South post-RRR, Ram Charan is the only South Indian actor Bhat follows. Interestingly, the producer mentioned in the article is also following Ram Charan on Instagram, which only adds fuel to the speculation.
While there has been no official confirmation from either side yet, fans of Ram Charan, especially those who are excited about the genre, have already begun creating fan edits imagining him in the mythological role.
For now, it remains to be seen if this is just a rumor or if this exciting project is indeed in the works. Stay tuned for more updates!
