Ram Charan's two upcoming releases, Acharya and RC15 (tentative title), have already begun picking up steam, more so since the first movie has Mega Power Star sharing screen space the first time with his legendary superstar father, Chiranjeevi, in a full-fledged role, while the second will see him in his second pan-India film after RRR, besides again marking the first time that he'll be working with celebrated Tamil cinema filmmaker Ram Charan. Suffice it to say that excitement for both projects are already touching the roof. Also Read - Urfi Javed has the most hilarious REACTION to Alia Bhatt's pregnancy
Ram Charan will next be seen in RRR, arguably the biggest Indian movie after Baahubali 2, directed by the one and only S.S. Rajamouli, and costarring Jr. NTR, Ram Charan, Ajay Devgn and Alia Bhatt. However, given the amount of time an actor needs to dedicate for a Rajamouli project, coupled with the COVID-19 pandemic and theatrical shutdown, which means that Ram Charan's last release was Vinaya Vidheya Rama back in 2019, and so, people can't wait for Acharya and RC15 any longer.

Let us go through it without any problems of the (COVID-19) pandemic and we'll talk about it soon...very soon.” Also Read - Shahid Kapoor-Mira Rajput, Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt and more: Bollywood couples whose passionate kiss in public went viral
Elaborating how he finally came on board for Acharya, the actor added, “I mean, it was not my decision. Yes, I'm a part producer in that, but, initially, we had many choices...like someone from outside the family of course. However, out Director, Koratala Siva sir had decided somehow, one day, to call my and say, 'I know you're working on RRR, I know we cannot ask Rajamouli sir for time out from RRR for our film (Acharya), but I'm not able to think beyond you in terms of the script requirement, the script comfort to have me in it.' So, the script demanded it...not like we both decided (Chiranjeevi and him)...come on, let's make a movie together. I think the Director and the script demanded it and Rajamouli sir gave the time off the sets (of RRR) for my film (Acharya) and it meant a lot. More than for me, it meant a lot for my mother, the fans and the script that I came into the project.”
