Maverick director Shankar has decided to not waste any more time delaying his film with Ram Charan. He will be flying down to Hyderabad at the earliest to conduct a look test for Ram Charan. The rest of the finalised cast of RC15 will also be a part of this look test. The details regarding other cast members have been kept secret.

The movie was earlier scheduled to go on floors in July. However, due to Covid restrictions and Shankar’s personal legal issues, it got delayed. Producer Dil Raju and Ram Charan flew down to Chennai recently and met Shankar where the trio confirmed that film will go on floors by September.

According to the latest reports, the film’s pre-production works have already started. Moreover, this project is expected to go on floors in September now. Meanwhile, in this time, Ram Charan will look to finish Acharya and RRR and then move on to Shankar film.

Multiple plotlines and theories have been floated about the RC15. Some say that the Mega Power Star will be playing the role of a young and dynamic IAS officer fighting corruption. There is another set that believes that RC15 is going to be a re-adaptation of Shankar’s Mudhavalan (Oke Okkaddu).
