Mega Power Star Ram Charan is currently working on a massive pan-Indian project under Shankar’s direction. It is reportedly a political thriller and there are huge expectations for it. This untitled film has Kiara playing the female lead while well-known actors like Sunil, Srikanth, SJ Suryah, Anjali and others play important roles.
The shooting of this film came to a temporary halt since Shankar became busy with ‘Indian 2’. But he promised to work on both films simultaneously and gave assurance to the Mega fans. This is a very crucial film in Ram Charan’s career as he managed to get a pan-Indian hit with ‘RRR’ and he needs #RC15 to become a huge success across the nation if he wants to strengthen his market in North India too.
The recent reports reveal that the overseas rights of his film were sold for a humongous rate. Since it is a pan-Indian film, rumours suggest that the team is quoting 20 crores of theatrical rights in the USA for all the languages collectively. This is a huge sum as analysts predict that the film needs to get $5 million to reach the breakeven mark. Barring ‘RRR’, Ram Charan’s biggest overseas hit was ‘Rangasthalam’ which earned just above $3 million dollars. Many say that it will be a very risky move for Ram Charan as the film may end up in huge losses if it fails to impress the audience. While nothing has been confirmed, we need to wait and see if #RC15 goes for such a huge rate in the overseas market or not.
Legendary South Indian director Shankar is a name that needs no introduction. His filmography speaks volumes about his brilliance and the influence he had on the film industry through his stories and usage of visionary technology. He is going through a rough patch at the moment since movies like ‘Snehitudu’, ‘I’ and ‘2.0’ failed to reach the expectations. #RC15 is a crucial film for Shankar too and the audience are expecting Ram Charan-Shankar duo to deliver big time.
