RC17: Will Ram Charan’s film with Sukumar begin shooting in December 2026?
According to Gulte, the regular shooting of RC17 is likely to begin in the last week of December 2026. Earlier reports had suggested that filming could commence in February 2027. However, these updates remain speculative, and the makers are yet to make an official announcement regarding the schedule.
RC17 is an upcoming production backed by Mythri Movie Makers. After delivering the 2018 rural action drama Rangasthalam, the actor-director duo is reuniting for what is reportedly a massive big-budget venture, with a potential theatrical release in 2028.
Reportedly, Sukumar has spent more than two years developing and refining the script. While pre-production work is already underway, the film is expected to begin shooting in Hyderabad.
Although the makers have not officially revealed further details, the project is reportedly an action-adventure entertainer set against an urban backdrop. Earlier reports suggested that actresses Sara Arjun and Bhagyashrii Borse were being considered for the female lead. However, more recent reports indicate that the team is likely to cast a Telugu actress.
Devi Sri Prasad was initially announced as the film’s music composer. However, his name was absent from the latest announcement, leading to speculation that Anirudh Ravichander could replace him. An official confirmation regarding the composer is still awaited.
Ram Charan’s work front
Ram Charan was last seen in the lead role in the sports action drama Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana. The film revolves around a talented rural athlete who overcomes social obstacles and a career-threatening injury to pursue his sporting ambitions. Determined to bring recognition and development to his marginalised village, he turns his achievements into a fight for his community’s future.
The film features Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, alongside Divyendu, Shiva Rajkumar, Jagapathi Babu, Rao Ramesh, Rajatava Dutta, Tinnu Anand and others in important roles.
