‘I must admit I’m overwhelmed by the esteemed guests and my esteemed mentor, Sukumar. I extend my gratitude to Ram Charan for this incredible opportunity that emerged from my days as Rangasthalam’s assistant director. I’m determined to make the most of it,’ Director Buchi Babu Sana said.
‘Many have longed to see me paired with Janhvi Kapoor, reminiscing about the nostalgia of Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari,’ Ram Charan said, referring to the 1990 Telugu film, starring his father Chiranjeevi and Jahnvi’s mother Sridevi.
Director Sukumar, known for Rangasthalam and Pushpa, presents RC 16 under the Sukumar Writings banner, in association with Mythri Movie Makers.
