Fans mob Ram Charan’s car at Rajahmundry airport, throw flowers; see video

Telugu star Ram Charan landed in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh, yesterday to join the sets of his upcoming yet-untitled multilingual film with filmmaker Shankar.

As he was exiting the airport in his car, fans mobbed the vehicle and threw flowers on it chanting ‘Jai Charan’.

A video clip from the airport has gone viral on social media.

Ram Charan is in Rajahmundry for a 15-day shooting schedule. The project, currently dubbed RC 15, marks the star's maiden collaboration with Shankar. Kiara Advani plays the leading lady.

On being signed for the project, Advani said in a statement: “It's definitely one of the best birthday presents I have got so far. I am excited as well as nervous to work with renowned and experienced names of our film fraternity. I am eagerly waiting to begin the shoot and hoping that this incredible opportunity is translated wonderfully on screen!"

The project also marks Shankar’s foray into Telugu cinema. Expected to be an action thriller, RC 15 will have music by SS Thaman. The rest of the cast and crew will be announced soon.

Before commencing work on the project, Shankar was expected to complete the remainder of Indian 2, sequel to his own blockbuster film Indian (1996) with Kamal Haasan. However, there has been no update on whether work on the project has been resumed or completed.

The shooting of Indian 2 came to a standstill two years ago after an accident on the set killed three technicians.

Indian 2, which is being bankrolled by Lyca Productions, also stars Siddharth, Rakul Preet Singh, Bobby Simhaa, Kajal Aggarwal and Priya Bhavani Shankar.

Meanwhile, Shankar will also commence work soon on the Hindi remake of his own Tamil hit, Anniyan (2005). Ranveer Singh has been roped in for the remake which is expected to go on the floors later this year.
