Ram Charan, fresh from the success of Peddi, is preparing for his next major project with director Sukumar, tentatively titled RC17.

Backed by Mythri Movie Makers, the project is reportedly being mounted on a large scale, reflecting the production house’s ambition for this collaboration.
According to recent updates, the script for RC17 has been finalized. The production team is now gearing up for an official launch event, which is expected to take place in the coming weeks. Regular shooting is likely to commence later this year, as per reports.
The buzz around RC17 intensified after director SS Rajamouli shared his thoughts on the film’s opening.

Details about the rest of the cast and technical crew are yet to be revealed. More official announcements regarding the launch and team are expected soon.
