Farhan Akhtar is set to launch Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan Teja in Hindi films SONAL CHAWLA
South actor Ram Charan Teja (he’s the son of Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi) is ready to make his debut in Bollywood. Sources insist that the South sensation has been signed by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment.
Ram Charan was recommended to Farhan by Abhishek Kapoor, who had shot a commercial with him. A source says Farhan saw the actor’s latest Telugu blockbuster Magadheera and was left speechless. “He loved the film and Ram Charan’s performance. Farhan feels Ram Charan has all the qualities of an action hero. He got in touch with him and has now signed him with his production house Excel Entertainment. A script titled Haafiz was narrated to Ram Charan.”
The film will be majorly shot in Mumbai. It’s the story of two friends - the other character is yet to be cast. The movie is expected to go on the floors in April and the release is scheduled around December. “If all goes well, Chiranjeevi might play the girl’s father,” adds ours source, While the script is still being fine tuned, the plot is basically rich girlmeets-poor boy plot with a lot of action sequences. “Deepika Padukone and Kangna are the two options being considered opposite Ram Charan. The film will be made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi,” says the source.
Ram Charan, who is currently abroad on a holiday, could not be contacted for a comment. However Farhan Akhtar said, “It would be a pleasure to work with Ram Charan. But the news that we have collaborated on a film is untrue.”

When not posing for shutterbugs, Pawan Kalyan is this lone withdrawn figure on
most public occasions.
The lank hair, brooding persona,intense gaze, and a poker
face only accentuate the effect.
However, his onscreen mannerisms are quite in contrast. He is all spunk and quirks when he is in the act.
His sense of style is as free spirited as his acting, and he sure has a flair for clothes.
He has done more than his bit to raise the bar for contemporary style in Telugu cinema.
Horses, swords, Magadheera,Ram Charan! He is still just two films old, but is already being touted to be the next super star. The expectations are enormous but it looks like Charan can live up to them. A natural, he has quite a presence, long hair or short. Well-groomed, well-bred and
soft-spoken Charan looks casual and approachable. Quiet and introverted, Charan is charismatic, minus the frills. Just get the feeling he is on his way to becoming something quite special?
Magadheera’s after effects
Close on the heels of the record-breaking success of Ram Charan’s Magadheera, it looks like a particular superstar from the yesteryears is looking out to remake an old super hit film of his. We hear the man in question has requested the same director,Rajamouli to take up the project. But wait a sec: the buzz indicates that our man is also planning to get his son to play the male lead. The heat of competition, that’s what it is. All current heartthrobs are feeling it. Just look how!
Ramcharan Teja will be completing his ORANGE movie 2nd schedule at mumbai this month.
After lot of speculation, Shazahn Padamsee is finalised as second heroine in this movie and she appears in a song and for fifteen minutes during flashback narration.
The unit will leave for Sydney, Australia on 11th february for a three months schedule and is expected to wrap up the movie with last schedule in hyderabad.
