Ram @ 20: Still Hungry, Willing To Experiment

Ram Pothineni is not just an actor. He is one of the few complete performers in Telugu cinema today. A perfectionist, an energetic screen presence, and one of the finest dancers of his generation, Ram marks 20 successful years in the industry today. His journey began on the same date two decades ago with the blockbuster Devadasu, and since then, he has explored almost every character a commercial hero can.

Across these two decades, Ram has built a reputation as a full-package entertainer who refuses to limit himself to any one image. He enjoys wide appeal across all sections of the audience because of the variety he brings to the table. He charmed as the lover boy in Devadas and Nenu Shailaja, packed a punch as an action hero in Ready and Maska, entertained as the mass-friendly lead in Kandireega and Pandaga Chesko, and stunned everyone with drastic transformations in iSmart Shankar and Skanda.

Even in Andhra King Taluka, where he plays a movie buff representing fans of every superstar, Ram showcased his commitment, proving that even after two decades, he is still hungry, passionate, and willing to experiment.

His strong instinct for music has consistently delivered chartbuster albums- a hallmark of almost every Ram film. Some movies may have stumbled at the box office, but Ram has never failed as a performer. In fact, many of his films are remembered primarily for their blockbuster music and his electrifying presence.

And Ram's appeal doesn’t end with Telugu states. His Hindi satellite and streaming numbers continue to break records, proving that his reach is truly pan-Indian.
