Ram Charan - Suriya: Is the Stage Set for a Multi-Starrer with Ram Charan and Suriya?
Multi-starrers are gaining immense popularity in Tollywood, with top stars showing keen interest in such projects. Following the success of films like 'RRR' (NTR - Ram Charan), 'Waltair Veerayya' (Chiranjeevi - Ravi Teja), 'Salaar' (Prabhas - Prithviraj Sukumaran), and 'Kalki' (Prabhas, Amitabh, Kamal), another mind-blowing multi-starrer is reportedly in the works. There is strong buzz that South Indian stars Ram Charan and Suriya are set to collaborate on a film.
Suriya as the Antagonist to Ram Charan!
A vigorous campaign is underway about an upcoming multi-starrer featuring global star Ram Charan Teja and Tamil star hero Suriya. Hanu Raghavapudi, known for his expertise in crafting love stories, is said to be directing this project. The story has reportedly impressed Suriya already, and it is now awaiting Ram Charan's approval. If Ram Charan agrees, this high-profile project is expected to take off, promising intense fight sequences between Charan and Suriya that could shatter box office records, as fans are eagerly posting online.
After a Film with Prabhas!
Director Hanu Raghavapudi is already set to announce a major project with Pan-India star Prabhas. Discussions about this film, which will reportedly revolve around the Razakars movement before independence, have just concluded. The film, to be produced by Mythri Movie Makers and set to be titled 'Fauji,' promises to be a full-fledged action drama, a departure from Hanu's previous films. The focus will shift to the Ram Charan-Suriya project after the completion of this film with Prabhas.
Charan-Suriya Busy Busy
Currently, both Ram Charan and Suriya are busy with their respective films. Ram Charan is working on 'Game Changer,' while Suriya is involved in a project titled 'Kanguva,' set for a global release on October 10. Ram Charan also has a promising chance to entertain everyone in December with 'Game Changer.' Following this, he is slated to work on a sports drama directed by Buchi Babu, where Janhvi Kapoor has been locked in as the female lead. This film, tentatively titled 'Peddi,' is being co-produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Vriddhi Cinemas, and Kannada star actor Shivaraj Kumar is expected to play a significant role.
Mega Multi-Starrer Loading..!
Director Harish Shankar, closely associated with the Mega family, made significant remarks during the promotion of his film 'Mr. Bachchan.' He responded to why he hasn't directed a Pan-India film yet, revealing that he has been preparing a story for Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, and Chiranjeevi. If this project takes off, it is expected to become the biggest Pan-India film ever, surpassing all others, as per the enthusiastic posts by Mega fans. They are eagerly hoping that this project will start shooting soon. Previously, Chiru and Ram Charan acted together in 'Acharya,' and Chiranjeevi appeared in special cameos for Charan in films like 'Bruce Lee' and 'Magadheera.'

Chiranjeevi's Pioneering Cameo in Indian Cinema: A Look at the Best Cameo Appearances Across Industries
A new trend of cameo appearances has started in the Indian film industry. Industries like Tollywood, Bollywood, and Kollywood, without distinction, are following this trend and reaping successful results. By incorporating stars from other industries into their films for powerful cameo roles, they are creating significant hype among audiences and achieving blockbuster successes. However, many may not know that our Megastar was the pioneer in bringing life to these cameo roles. Chiranjeevi laid the foundation for this trend with a guest role in a Rajinikanth film. What was that film? Let’s explore this special feature on the best cameo films till now.

Chiru's Cameo
Chiranjeevi starred in the Telugu hit 'Attaku Yamudu Ammayiki Mogudu' produced by Geetha Arts under Allu Aravind and directed by Kodandarami Reddy. Later, this film was remade in Tamil with Rajinikanth as 'Maapillai' by Allu Aravind. In this film, Megastar Chiranjeevi made a striking cameo. He appears at a temple stairs fighting a riotous mob intent on disrupting the hero's wedding. Notably, Srihari also appears in these scenes. Chiru even delivered his lines in Tamil himself. When Rajinikanth introduces his mother-in-law, Chiru whispers in his ear, "Your mother-in-law looks good!" (in Tamil) to which Rajinikanth responds jokingly, "You look like you're causing trouble! Leave now, man!" This cameo was unexpected at the time. Chiru and Rajinikanth had already acted together in several films, but this was the first time Chiru appeared in a guest role. Now, this practice is widely adopted across various industries.

Balakrishna - Ram: A New Combo in Tollywood.. Has the Era of Multistarrers Begun?
There's a significant craze for multi starrer films in Tollywood. Seeing two star heroes on the same screen is a feast for the audience's eyes. In the past, such multi starrer films were made on a large scale, but recently, their frequency has decreased. Consequently, the audience also shifted their interest away from the multistarrer mania.

The news of these two heroes coming together for a multistarrer has stirred excitement in Tollywood. Rumors suggest that the famous production house, Mythri Movie Makers, will be producing this project, and Kannada star hero Shivaraj Kumar might also join. However, there has been no official announcement from the production company yet. If this news turns out to be true, it will indeed be a festival for mass audiences.
Good Friendship
The personal relationship between hero Ram and Nandamuri Balakrishna is well-known. This was evident during the audio function of 'Skanda,' where Balakrishna graced the event as the chief guest and shared a close bond with Ram. In his speech, Ram showered praises on Balakrishna, stating that while he delights one generation, Balakrishna continues to enchant three. Balakrishna reciprocated by lifting Ram to the skies. This friendship transcends age, and if these two star heroes come together for a film, it's expected to shatter records.

Mega Multi Starrer Movie: Chiru, Pawan, Charan Combo in a Multistarrer... Director Harish Shankar's Big Plan!
The 'Mega Family' in Tollywood, known for its substantial fan base, has launched many stars under megastar Chiranjeevi. Present-day industry luminaries like Pawan Kalyan, Ram Charan, and Allu Arjun are all members of this illustrious family. Films from the Mega Family consistently create a buzz in Tollywood. Just imagine the excitement if Chiru, Pawan, and Charan starred together in a multistarrer! The prospect is thrilling and may soon become a reality, as director Harish Shankar is actively working towards this collaboration. Let's explore more about these developments.
'The Ultimate Pan-India Release'...
Among the directors close to the Mega Family, Harish Shankar is notable. He has openly declared himself a fan of Pawan Kalyan. During the promotion of his film 'Mr. Bachchan', Harish Shankar made some significant comments in response to why he hasn't yet made a Pan-India film. He stated, "You can’t just write a story for the sake of calling it Pan-India. 'Pushpa' wasn’t made as a Pan-India film; neither was 'Kantara'. They told local stories that the Pan-India audience accepted. It should happen organically. I have been working on a line for Kalyan garu, Ram Charan, and Chiranjeevi. If made, it will be the true Pan-India film." Currently, these remarks have become the talk of Tollywood. Mega fans are eagerly posting their hopes for this film to hit the sets soon.
