Ram Charan starts shooting for Sukumar's film

Actor Ram Charan said on Saturday he is going to start shooting for his next yet-untitled Telugu project with director Sukumar.

"Landed in Rajahmundry! All set to roll my next with Sukumar," Ram Charan wrote on his Facebook page.

After playing a suave khaki-clad hero in last year's Telugu actioner "Dhruva", Ram Charan will be seen in a fully rural avatar in this 1980s-set period love drama.

"He is set to undergo a complete rural makeover for this project. Audiences are going to see a new Ram Charan, and they're going to love his look. It's a period love story," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

To be produced by Mythri Movie Makers, the regular shooting of the project is expected to start soon.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu has been finalised as the leading lady and this will be her first-time collaboration with Ram Charan. Jagapathi Babu has been confirmed to play a pivotal role -- most likely that of the antagonist.

Devi Sri Prasad will compose the tunes, while Rathnavelu will crank the camera for the project.
