According to reports, Dhurandhar fame Sara Arjun is in talks to be cast as the lead opposite Ram Charan.
Sara Arjun to feature opposite Ram Charan in Sukumar’s RC17?
Sara Arjun, who garnered limelight after her association with Dhurandhar, is considered a possible choice for the female lead opposite Ram Charan. According to a report published in Telugu 360, the makers have had discussions with the actress and are considering signing her up. But her association hasn’t been confirmed yet, and the official announcement is still pending. If it happens, it would be a significant addition to her filmography.
The untitled film will be backed by Mythri Movie Makers and is being considered for release in cinemas in 2028. Ram Charan and Sukumar’s previous collaboration, Rangasthalam, garnered massive love from the audience, and now the expectations from their reunion are immense. The script is reportedly confirmed, and pre-production is currently underway for the upcoming project. The makers are all set to take the film to the sets, and further information about the cast, music and storyline is awaited.
