It is official: Janhvi Kapoor joins Ram Charan in Buchi Babu Sana's ‘RC16’

Actress Janhvi Kapoor has been officially confirmed as the leading lady opposite Ram Charan in the much-anticipated film RC16, directed by Buchi Babu Sana. The announcement was made by the film's production team on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), coinciding with the talented actress's 27th birthday.


The much-speculated pairing of Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor in RC16 has sparked immense anticipation among fans ever since the project was first revealed. Rumors about the female lead ranged from Samantha Ruth Prabhu to Janhvi Kapoor, and the confirmation of the latter has only heightened the curiosity surrounding the film.


RC16 marks the first collaboration between the dynamic duo of Ram Charan and director Buchi Babu Sana, renowned for his work on the critically acclaimed film Uppena. For Janhvi Kapoor, this venture into the Telugu film industry is her second after her appearance in the Jr. NTR starrer Devara, directed by Koratala Siva.


While the filmmakers have kept the details of RC16 under wraps, according to Pinkvilla, the movie will be a rural sports drama with Kabaddi as its central theme. Director Buchi Babu Sana, who invested close to four years crafting the script, expresses confidence in delivering a blockbuster that captivates audiences with its unique storyline and compelling narrative.
