Janhvi Kapoor is feeling the excitement as her latest film, RC 16, officially kicks off production in Mysore. The movie, directed by Buchi Babu Sana, marks Janhvi's second foray in Telugu cinema and pairs her alongside the renowned Ram Charan, known for his impactful roles across various films.
The first day of shooting was particularly significant. Buchi Babu Sana shared his enthusiasm on social media, posting from the Chamundeshwari Matha temple where he sought blessings for the film. "It's a BIG DAY....The most awaited moment. Started with the blessings of Chamundeshwari Matha, Mysore. Blessings needed. #RC16," he declared, clearly setting the tone for what he hopes will be a successful project.
Janhvi, who was equally thrilled about the commencement, expressed her joy with a simple but heartfelt comment, conveying her energy through emojis. She responded with fiery hearts and clapping emojis, indicative of her eagerness to be part of this cinematic venture. Other industry mates joined in the celebration; Ram’s co-star from Magadheera, Dev Gill, and his cousin Pawan Tej Konidela, also shared supportive comments on his post, wishing the team the best as they set off on this new endeavor.
The buzz around RC 16 is palpable, especially with prominent names attached to the project. Mythri Movie Makers, the film's producers, announced on the first day of shooting the involvement of Jagapathi Babu, who is set to portray what they described as a ‘commanding character.’ Jagapathi’s collaboration with Ram extends to their previous work on Rangasthalam, hinting at strong chemistry between the actors.
While Buchi has commenced filming with supporting cast members, both Ram and Janhvi are expected to join the scene on Monday. They’ll be tackling some pivotal moments early on. Notably, Ram Charan has undergone significant physical transformation for his role, as seen through updates from his fitness trainer, Shivoham, who shared hints of the actor’s revamped look on social media earlier this year.
RC 16 is touted as a sports drama set against the scenic backdrop of Uttarandhra. This genre should delight fans and critics alike. Notably, Vijay Sethupathi, who had worked with Buchi on the director's previous film, expressed confidence about RC 16's potential for success, calling it a “sure shot blockbuster” during promotions for his own project, Maharaja.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the film's release, as the pairing of Janhvi Kapoor with Ram Charan brings together two of the industry's most vibrant stars. Previous projects have already made clear the individual talents of both actors. It’s exciting to think about how they’ll play off one another's performances on screen.
Buchi Babu Sana found fame with his directorial debut, Uppena, which did wonders at the box office. The anticipation surrounding RC 16 feels significant, as audiences have high hopes for Buchi's follow-up. The film promises to blend themes of perseverance, ambition, and the artistry of sport, intertwined with heartfelt drama.
With the shooting gears rolling and blessings sought at the temple, industry watchers and audiences can expect regular updates as production progresses. The combination of high-caliber performances, engaging storytelling, and the undeniable chemistry between Kapoor and Charan will hopefully deliver a thrilling cinematic experience when RC 16 hits the silver screen.
Fans of both stars will want to keep their eyes peeled for any sneak peeks or trailers, which will likely drop as filming continues. Given the immense talent behind this project, RC 16 may very well carve out its own legacy within Telugu cinema, one deserving of all the anticipation it has already inspired.
