Ram Charan Gives Perfect Reply To A Reporter Over A Comment About Overshadowing Jr. NTR In RRR Movie

The question was strange itself as both Ram Charan and Jr. NTR have equally been hailed by the audiences and critics alike for their superlative performances as Alluri Sitharama Raju and Komaram Bheem, respectively. ## Nonetheless, Ram Charan, who shares a close bond with Tarak, has had a perfect reply. "No man I don't believe that at all, not even for a second", Charan said on him taking all the accolades over Jr. NTR. "We both have excelled beautifully and Tarak was fantastic. I don't think I have enjoyed working in any other film but RRR. And what I take back from RRR is my journey with Bheem, my journey with Tarak, and I'll never ever forget that", he added. ## On the work front, Ram Charan will resume the shoot of director Shankar's political thriller, tentatively titled "RC15". Jr. NTR, on the other hand, will reunite for Koratala Siva for "NTR30", and the shoot for the same will kick-start from June this year. He will also be joining hands with KGF director Prashanth Neel after finishing the shoot of Siva's film. ## Stay tuned...

Prabhas Talks About The Importance Of Box Office Numbers Of Films

Mumbai, April 2 - Superstar Prabhas will be headlining some of the biggest Indian movies in the next 2 to 3 years. He became a nationwide sensation after the success of "The Baahubali" franchise in Hindi and later he tested the success with "Saaho" in the biggest Indian movie market. ## Prabhas's recently released "Radhe Shyam", however, couldn't do well at the box office and was declared a disaster. The actor is now gearing up for his next, titled "Adipurush", which is possibly the biggest film of his career. Prabhas called "Adipurush" more than just a film and sentimentally a very important project for his life. ## "Adipurush sentimentally is a very important project for my life. Om Raut, luckily I have a very good director. It is not just a film, it is something very important and everyone will be having a look at it. I was really frightened of it and is very important for me. It is something else I feel", Prabhas said to IANS. ## Even though "Radhe Shyam" didn't do well, Prabhas is still one of the biggest crowd-pullers in the country. When asked if Box Office numbers do matter to him, the actor said that it is important for him to see how many people liked his movies which can only be known through box office numbers. ## "Yes. I can't get every 'Baahubali' as a film. But the budget and the people's acceptance are very important. The box office can be told like that. It does not mean I break records. Nothing like that but how much I am reaching in every part, how many people are disappointed, happy, or super excited that I can only know through the box office. It (box office) is important", he added. ## Talking about "Adipurush", the movie is based on the Hindu epic Ramayana. Prabhas features in the title role, and it also stars Kriti Sanon and Saif Ali Khan as Janaki and Lankesh, respectively. The film releases on January 11, 2023, in multiple Indian and foreign languages. ## Stay tuned...
