Suddenly, social media was abuzz with reports that Rajamouli and Ram Charan had recently met and locked a new film.
Having already worked together on “Magadheera” and “RRR,” their third collaboration would be announced soon, the reports claimed.
This surprised many within the film industry.
Several producers wondered how Rajamouli could agree to a new project with Ram Charan when he has not yet completed the shooting of “Varanasi” with Mahesh Babu.
Some producers, who have been hoping to collaborate with Rajamouli for a long time, also questioned who would produce such a film.
They began making inquiries themselves, only to discover that the news about this combination was completely false.
Rajamouli and Ram Charan neither met recently to discuss a new movie, nor has Rajamouli finalized his next project.
It appears that somebody deliberately spread this rumor. But who spread it, and what did they gain from it? That is the question many in the industry are asking.
Rajamouli himself is currently focused on wrapping up “Varanasi” and keeping its budget under control, as the OTT market has become challenging in recent times.
He is reportedly expecting lower revenues from digital rights than initially anticipated and is looking to trim the budget accordingly.
With such issues demanding his attention, it is hard to imagine him already finalizing his next film.
