Ram Charan and director Sukumar are set to reunite for a highly anticipated project, marking their collaboration after the massive success of "Rangasthalam". The film is scheduled to commence shooting in July 2026 and is expected to be shot over a period of one year.
Sources close to the development indicate that Sukumar has already begun working on the script, focusing on shaping the narrative. Currently, the film is in its pre-production phase, with Sukumar's team actively laying the groundwork for a smooth and expansive shoot. According to a source, the project is slated to begin immediately after the release of "Peddi" and is expected to be a remarkable script. Both Ram Charan and Sukumar are reportedly enthusiastic about this collaboration.
Ram Charan, currently involved in pan-Indian projects, is particularly excited to work with Sukumar again, who directed him in one of the most celebrated roles of his career in "Rangasthalam". Insiders reveal that Charan has been closely following the script discussions and is fully committed to delivering his best under Sukumar's direction. He has reportedly blocked his calendar for an entire year for this project, demonstrating his dedication.
The untitled film is anticipated to be a grand production featuring intense drama and Sukumar's signature layered characters. The reunion has already generated considerable buzz, positioning it as one of the most awaited Telugu projects in the coming years.
Before commencing work on the Sukumar film, Ram Charan will complete "Peddi," a rural sports action drama directed by Buchi Babu Sana. "Peddi" is set against a rural backdrop and features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, along with Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyenndu Sharma in key roles. The film is backed by Vriddhi Cinemas and presented by Mythri Movie Makers, with music by A.R. Rahman. "Peddi" is scheduled for a theatrical release on March 27, 2026.
Ram Charan seems to be exclusively focused on his current projects, especially "Peddi," and his upcoming film with Sukumar. While many other actors are in discussions with various directors, Ram Charan has seemingly dedicated his attention solely to these ventures. The upcoming film with Sukumar will be produced by Naveen Yerneni and Ravi Shankar under the Mythri Movie Makers banner. Devi Sri Prasad will be the music composer for the film.
