Ukrainian bodyguard thanks Ram Charan for offering help amid war with Russia

Actor Ram Charan has been receiving a lot of appreciation from fans for helping a member of his security staff in the Ukraine. Ahead of the release of SS Rajamouli’s RRR (2022), a video clip has surfaced on social media in which Rusty, who was the star's personal bodyguard during the film’s schedule in the Eastern European country, thanks him for his help during the current war with Russia.

The team of RRR was in the Ukraine to shoot a song and a few crucial sequences. Rusty was part of the team that took care of Ram Charan’s security. In the video clip that has surfaced on social media, Rusty is seen thanking Ram Charan for his help.

“Hello everyone. My name is Rusty. I was a bodyguard for Ram Charan when he was shooting in Kiev, Ukraine. A few days ago, Ram Charan reached out to me and asked about me and my family. He asked if there is anything that he could do to help. I told him I have joined the military. He sent money to my wife and asked me to take care of my family. It’s very kind of him,” he said.

In RRR, Jr NTR shares screen space with Ram Charan for the first time. The film is a fictional tale set in the pre-Independence era in the 1920s but based on the lives of two well-known revolutionaries, Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem.

The film, which will also be released in a Hindi-dubbed version, also stars Ajay Devgn, Alia Bhatt, Samuthirakani and Shriya Saran.

RRR was supposed to be released worldwide on 7 January, but it was postponed owing to the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in India. The film is finally being released on Friday.
