Hero Ram Pothineni now joins the elite list of Telugu actors who stepped into direction, following legends like Sr NTR, Krishna, and Pawan Kalyan.
After showcasing his talent as a lyricist and singer in his previous film Andhra King Taluka, Ram now wields the megaphone for the first time with his 23rd film, #RAPO23.
Announced on his birthday, the project dives into the largely unexplored zone of a stylish psychological action thriller.
Produced by Krishna Pothineni under the newly launched Rapo Cinematics banner, the film presents Ram Pothineni in a stylish, intense, never-seen-before avatar.
A riveting poster introduces his character, Veera. The design radiates menace. Ram is seen from behind, wrapped in a dark leather jacket and sporting a distinct V-cut hairstyle.
A bold red V blazes behind him, symbolizing Veera’s identity and echoing the film’s themes of rebellion, danger, and psychological conflict.
A cold, shadowy night-time cityscape subtly fills the backdrop, hinting at a world steeped in crime and loneliness. The tagline- The Story of a Lone Wolf, teases a protagonist shaped by isolation and inner turmoil.
With Ram not only directing but also crafting the story, #RAPO23 stands out as one of his boldest creative leaps yet.
Shooting begins in June, with the team targeting a December release. Further updates on the cast and crew will be announced soon.
