Ram Charan and Sukumar's RC17 Faces Music Composer Buzz
Ram Charan's upcoming project, currently referred to as RC17, is drawing attention as director Sukumar nears completion of the script. Following his recent work on 'Pushpa 2: The Rule', Sukumar is now immersed in pre-production for this big-budget action thriller, produced by Mythri Movie Makers. While Ram Charan is recovering from an injury, Sukumar is finalizing the cast and technical crew, with reports suggesting Rukmini Vasanth may be cast as the female lead.
A major talking point among fans and industry circles is the choice of music composer for RC17. Sukumar has a long-standing collaboration with Devi Sri Prasad (DSP), who has scored all his previous films. However, speculation has intensified after Sukumar reportedly explored other options for the background score of 'Pushpa 2', including last-minute work with Sam CS and Thaman. According to recent reports, Sukumar is now in discussions with Shashwat Sachdev, known for his work in Bollywood, to potentially compose for RC17. At the same time, some sources maintain that DSP could return for this project.
The uncertainty around the music director has sparked considerable debate, with many awaiting an official announcement from Sukumar to settle the matter. As the film's pre-production progresses, the director is expected to address the speculation soon, putting an end to the ongoing rumors.
