On Sunday, Ram Charan's upcoming project with writer-director Sukumar, was launched with a pooja ceremony. The upcoming film, which is Ram Charan's 17th film as a lead, is the actor's reunion with Sukumar after Rangasthalam (2018).

Tentatively titled RC17, the upcoming film's pooja had Chiranjeevi as a special guest, who performed the ceremonial first clap. Sukumar is bankrolling the film under his Sukumar Writings banner, along with Naveen Yerneni, who produces under the Mythri Movie Makers banner, along with Bhushan Kumar, who produces under the T-Series banner.

Ram Charan was recently seen in Buchi Babu Sana's Peddi, which was presented by Sukumar. The film also stars Shivarajkumar, Janhvi Kapoor, Jagapathi Babu, and Divyenndu.

Meanwhile, the pair's previous outing, Rangasthalam (2018), featured Ram Charan as a deaf villager, who rises up against corruption in his village. The film was a recipient of the National Award for Best Sound Design.
