Rajinikanth’s upcoming film Dharman, produced by Kamal Haasan, is generating fresh buzz as reports indicate that Telugu star Ram Pothineni could be joining the cast in a significant role. The film, which has faced several production delays and a change in directors before Ashwath Marimuthu took the helm, is currently in its production phase.
According to recent reports, Ram Pothineni is expected to play Rajinikanth’s son-in-law in Dharman, with their characters reportedly set to have a confrontational dynamic. While this news has not yet been officially confirmed by the makers, it has already sparked considerable excitement among Telugu audiences, who are eager to see Ram Pothineni share screen space with the superstar.
Simran and Raashii Khanna have also been cast in pivotal roles, and the film’s music is being composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The second schedule of shooting has commenced recently, marking a new phase in the film’s journey after its earlier setbacks.
Dharman is slated for a theatrical release in 2027, giving fans plenty of time to speculate about the on-screen chemistry and drama that could unfold between Rajinikanth and Ram Pothineni. With a strong ensemble and the backing of Kamal Haasan’s production, the film is shaping up to be a notable addition to both Kollywood and Telugu cinema landscapes.
