Ram Pothineni is waiting for a good commercial break after his last success, iSmart Shankar, which was released in 2019. He tried different genres after that but couldn't score a hit. Now, he has decided to turn director with his next film, which was launched recently. The moment he announced that he would be directing his next project, it generated a lot of curiosity among the audience.
Apart from acting and directing, Ram has also written the story for the film. His brother, Krishna Pothineni, is producing it under the Rapo Cinematics banner. This is the most ambitious project of Ram's career and is also being made on the highest budget of his career.
The shooting commenced immediately after the film's launch, and now the makers have announced another exciting update. Acclaimed composer Sam CS, known for his powerful background scores in films like Kaithi, Pushpa 2, and Mahavatar Narasimha, has been roped in as the music composer for RAPO23.
Sam CS is widely regarded for his exceptional background scores, and his inclusion has further raised expectations for the film. The makers are confident that both the songs and the background score will elevate the overall cinematic experience.
Ram Pothineni has penned the original story, and the film is being made as a neo-noir psychological action thriller. The makers promise a unique cinematic experience featuring unexplored themes and intriguing character arcs that Telugu audiences have not seen before.
Apart from directing and writing the story, Ram will also be seen in what is said to be the most challenging role of his career.
The makers are currently finalising several prominent actors for key roles, with the complete cast expected to be announced soon.
The film also boasts a top-notch technical team. National Award-winning cinematographer Thirunavukarasu (Thiru) is handling the visuals, while celebrated stunt choreographer Peter Hein is composing the action sequences. AS Prakash is the production designer.
With an original story, a large-scale production, a talented technical crew, and Sam CS joining the team, RAPO23 is shaping up to be a landmark film in Ram Pothineni's career.
