Young gun Ram Charan is simultaneously working with three titans of south Indian film industry- with his father and Megastar Chiranjeevi in Acharya, with ace filmmaker S S Rajamouli in RRR and mega director Shankar in a film tentatively titled RC15.
Talking about working with Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan told Variety: “I would say acting with a man who’s really done 40 years in this field and 150 films plus, that is intimidating me more than acting with my father.”
Ram Charan, who had earlier shared the screen space with Chiranjeevi in a few scenes in Magadheera, added: “Working with thousands of actors in his career, he makes you feel so comfortable and really complements you as a person. And it’s so easy to be intimidated by those personalities. But as much as he is my father, he is a completely new person when he finishes his makeup and is out of his caravan in costume. It’s a beautiful experience. It’s a learning experience.”
Interestingly, it was Rajamouli who helmed Magadheera as well.
Talking about working with him once again, this time for RRR, Ram Charan said, “Any actor on the set gets to learn a lot from him. It can be about the character, it can be about his work ethics, his dedication. It’s a lovely working experience.
Ram Charan, hailed as Mega Power Star, added: “I think he’s gone leaps and bounds and he’s the number one director now in pan India, and just to work with him again it’s such a pleasure.”
And, last but not the least, Ram Chraran shared his experience with Shankar.
“Working with him is an experience and like his films we see on screen. More than an actor I think I’m like having a fanboy moment slash actor in this set. It’s amazing to see how he works. And just to be seen in his film, in his script. It’s a pleasure. Absolute pleasure.”
