Mega Powerstar Ram Charan is gearing up for RC17, reuniting with director Sukumar after their blockbuster Rangasthalam. Currently in pre-production, Sukumar is finalizing the script with filming slated to begin later this year under Mythri Movie Makers. While Sukumar has traditionally collaborated exclusively with Devi Sri Prasad for his films, fresh reports suggest a shift in musical direction for RC17. The director is reportedly in talks with Shashwat Sachdev, the young composer acclaimed for his impactful score in the Dhurandhar franchise. Shashwat’s music played a vital role in Dhurandhar’s success, and this move could bring a new sonic identity to Sukumar’s project. In the final stages of Pushpa 2: The Rule, Sukumar also explored options with composers like Thaman and Sam CS, indicating a keen interest in innovative background scores. Fans are eagerly awaiting official confirmation as excitement builds around this collaboration’s musical landscape. With filming set for later this year, more updates on the soundtrack are expected soon.
