Ram Pothineni is going to take a different route with his upcoming Tamil film Dharman, with superstar Rajinikanth as the lead actor. Ashwath Marimuthu is already generating a buzz so far, and there is speculation that Ram will be playing a key role in the movie.
The casting is an interesting development in Ram Pothineni’s career as he’s usually been associated with mainstream Telugu cinema. A big part in Rajinikanth’s film could be for him to take the character and expand his presence outside of the Telugu film industry.
Ram Pothineni replaces Dhruv Vikram?
According to reports, the makers of Dharman had originally approached actor Dhruv Vikram for the role that has now been offered to Ram Pothineni. Dhruv is said to have turned down the opportunity, following which the team approached Ram.
Though a firm announcement of the casting is awaited, the combination of Rajinikanth and Ram has already aroused the imagination of the fans to come. If the reports are true, the film will unite two actors from different generations and film industries in a potentially fiery relationship.
Rajinikanth and Ram to share a ‘Mama-Alludu’ Dynamic?
The Dharman story is said to be based on a ‘Mama-Alludu’ rivalry, with Rajinikanth and Ram having a strong relationship in the movie. Their on-screen relationship could become one of the movie’s greatest attractions.
Details of the plot and characters are still under wraps. But the relationship between the two characters will be central to the story.
Ram would have a big chance to share screen space with Rajinikanth. The Superstar has a huge fan base in India and abroad, and Ram has become one of the most popular stars of Telugu movies.
The combination would therefore attract great interest amongst the audience, particularly if the film has the two actors on opposite sides in different roles.
Ram Pothineni Balances Acting and Direction
What makes Ram’s reported involvement in Dharman even more interesting is his simultaneous involvement in another project. The actor is also said to be directing his own movie, which is a crime thriller.
Hence, it’s difficult to balance acting in a major Tamil film with his directorial responsibilities. But also from the movie, it suggests that Ram is interested in experimenting with artistic and creative filmmaking rather than just commercial films.
His reported decision to take up an important character with Rajinikanth could further strengthen that shift in his career.
Raashi Khanna Also Part of the Film
Raashi Khanna is also going to be part of Dharman. She will play Rajinikanth's daughter in the movie.
The casting is also an interesting aspect of the project as well, headed by Ashwath Marimuthu. With films that have a strong emotional element with contemporary drama, the filmmaker’s association with Rajinikanth has raised expectations for the director.
With Rajinikanth playing the major role, Ram Pothineni being cast as a key role, and Raashi Khanna coming into the picture, Dharman is looking like an intriguing project.
Ram's new role in the film would represent a major step forward for him in exploring characters outside of his well-known Telugu commercial cinema image. The fact that Ram is now making a bold move to work with Rajinikanth while also exploring his own direction indicates that he is in an experimental phase in his career.
We are waiting for Ram’s casting and the character details to be known. However, the reported Rajinikanth-Ram combination is certainly one of the most talked-about aspects of Dharman.
