Ram Pothineni is going big with his 23rd film, really big. RAPO23 officially went on the floors in Hyderabad on Monday, and the Andhra King Taluka actor marked the occasion with a heartfelt post on X: “With all your love and blessings… We begin.” What makes this project special? Ram has written the story himself and is also making his directorial debut. The film is a psychological action thriller with a neo-noir edge. Expect unconventional locations, high-contrast visuals, morally complex characters, and a striking visual palette that complements the genre. The film promises a moody atmosphere layered with tension and chaos.
Ram’s performance is already being described as “demanding,” which comes as no surprise given the film’s gripping character arc. Peter Hein, the action choreographer behind Baahubali and Kalki 2898 AD, is designing the action sequences, while Thirunavukarasu, known for Bharat Ane Nenu and Janatha Garage, is handling the cinematography. The makers have also promised a star-studded ensemble cast.
