Actor Rana Daggubati has joined forces with the makers of ‘Baahubali’ to back Ram Pothineni’s upcoming film. The yet-to-be-titled project marks the directorial debut of Kishore and is expected to be officially announced soon.

Rana is producing the film in collaboration with Arka Media Works, the banner behind the grand Baahubali franchise. The project has already sparked interest among fans and industry insiders.

Interestingly, reports suggest that the film was initially set to star Naga Chaitanya. According to Hindustan Times, pre-production had already begun when Chaitanya decided to exit the project for undisclosed reasons. The makers then approached Ram Pothineni, who readily came on board.

Meanwhile, Ram is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film ‘Andhra King Taluka’, co-starring Kannada actor Upendra. The film features Bhagyashri Borse as the female lead and is directed by Mahesh Babu P. It is produced by Naveen Yerneni and Y Ravi Shankar under the Mythri Movie Makers banner.

Ram Pothineni, known for his action-packed films like ‘iSmart Shankar’, is set to break away from his usual image in the upcoming movie. He will be seen in an unconventional avatar with a complete makeover, reminding fans of his romantic hero days.

‘Andhra King Taluka’ will mark Ram Pothineni’s return to village drama, a genre he hasn’t explored in recent years.
