The first look of Ram Charan Teja’s eagerly-anticipated Rangasthalam was unveiled on Saturday. The poster features a bearded Ram Charan –sporting a completely different look from his last outing, the crime-thriller Dhruva.
The film also stars Samantha Ruth Prabhu, but she isn’t in this poster of the movie. This is the first time Ram Charan is seen in a rural avatar, and the first look has already generated much excitement online – several celebrities have tweeted about how impressed they are.

The poster shows Chitti Babu dancing away merrily, but there isn’t much to tell us why he’s so happy. This is the first time Ram Charan and Samantha are working together, and it is also the first time Sukumar is directing both stars. Reportedly, actor Pooja Hegde, who was last seen in Allu Arjun’s Duvvada Jagannadham, will be seen in a special song in this period drama.
Sources claim that the shooting of the movie should wrap up by the end of January. Rangasthalam is being produced by Mythiri Movie Makers, who previously produced blockbusters like Srimanthudu and Janatha Garage.
The production house confirmed that Rangasthalam will hit the screens on March 30.
The music is being composed by Devi Sri Prasad, and the film also stars Jagapati Babu, Gauthami, Aadi Pinnisetty and Anasuya Bharadwaj.
Rangasthalam marks Ram Charan’s return to the big screen after his brief hiatus. His last movie, Dhruva, came out in 2016. A remake of the Tamil film Thani Oruvan, it was a sleek thriller, with Ram Charan playing a raffish cop.
Sukumar’s previous outing, Nannaku Prematho, with Junior NTR was a massive hit.
Sources associated with Rangasthalam said that it is going to be an action thriller, and the buzz around the film has already peaked.
