If we take a look at the films that Sukumar has directed, all of them present their protagonists differently and the lead actors had to put in extra efforts to bring life to the characters etched by the intelligent filmmaker. His new film with Ram Charan is no different and the mega heir has taken up a huge challenge by accepting this film.
Through the pre-look poster of #RC11, Sukumar has already ascertained that it will be a true-blue rural backdrop film, set in Godavari background. Although Ram Charan has tried this genre in Govindudu Andarivadele, he played an NRI in that film so he didn’t have to do anything out of the box in that film.
However, in Sukumar’s film, Charan has to play a guy who was born and bred in a village. The actor has already grown his beard and gone for commendable physical transformation for his role. His accent also has to be pitch-perfect to look convincing as a village youth so similar efforts have to be put in to learn the accent as well.
NTR’s Chari, Bunny’s Gona Ganna Reddy, Mahesh’s role in SVSC etc. are some characters which were immortalized by Charan’s competitors by improvising their accent to suit the characters they had played.
As he is a Hyderabadi, none expects him to be fluent in Godavari slang without any preparation. If Charan sticks to his sophisticated and well-groomed dialogue delivery, he wouldn’t be able to create the intended impact on audiences.
Although he knows that Sukumar’s films are commercial risks, Charan accepted this project as he identified it as his best chance to impress the class and family audiences. Known for putting strenuous efforts for his films, Charan is expected to master the accent at least by the time the film goes on floors.
