In a recent spotlight, the legendary actor Chiranjeevi once expressed his wish to see his son, Ram Charan, pair up with Bollywood star kid Janhvi Kapoor in a remake of his iconic film Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari. This nostalgic revelation came during an interview back in 2017. Chiranjeevi hinted at his desire when asked which of his films he’d like Ram Charan to remake. While Charan picked Gang Leader, Chiranjeevi leaned towards Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari. Adding more intrigue, Chiranjeevi even suggested that Janhvi Kapoor, daughter of the original film’s lead actress Sridevi, would be a perfect fit alongside his son.
Interestingly, years after this conversation, the wish has almost come true. Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor are set to collaborate in an upcoming project tentatively titled RC16, directed by Buchi Babu Sana. This film marks a significant moment as fans eagerly await their on-screen chemistry.
The buzz around RC16 has intensified since its announcement. The film is expected to be a blend of period drama with a rustic rural setting, promising a captivating storyline. Ram Charan, known for his power-packed performances, will portray a strong character that adds to the film’s gritty theme. Janhvi Kapoor, who confirmed her role in the movie on her 27th birthday, will be making her Telugu debut with this highly anticipated project.
RC16 officially launched with a pooja ceremony in Hyderabad, but most production details remain under wraps, adding to the excitement. The film is expected to be a visual spectacle, showcasing a grand narrative that combines drama and emotions.
Beyond RC16, all three actors—Ram Charan, Chiranjeevi, and Janhvi Kapoor—are enjoying flourishing careers. Ram Charan recently wrapped up shooting for Game Changer, directed by S. Shankar and featuring Kiara Advani. The movie, produced by Dil Raju, is scheduled for a Christmas release this year. Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi is gearing up for the release of his next socio-fantasy film, Vishwambhara, directed by Maliidi Vassish and starring Trisha Krishnan, Mrunal Thakur, and others in prominent roles.
As for Janhvi Kapoor, she is set to make her Telugu debut alongside Jr NTR in Devara Part 1, which is slated for release on September 27, 2024. Her entry into the Telugu film industry is generating significant buzz, and her collaboration with Ram Charan in RC16 is expected to create waves among fans.
