Energetic Star Ram Pothineni is set to surprise all Cinema lovers in a massive way as he steps into the director's chair for the very first time with #RAPO23. Produced by Krishna Pothineni under Rapo Cinematics, the project was officially announced on Ram's birthday with a highly intriguing poster.




The film is billed as a psychological action thriller, promising a gripping narrative developed by the star himself. This ambitious project marks a bold new chapter for Ram, who previously impressed audiences by turning lyricist and singer for Andhra King Taluka. By taking on the directorial reins, he joins an elite league of Telugu cinema icons who have helmed their own projects.

The birthday special poster introduces Ram as Veera, radiating a dark and intense vibe. He is seen from behind sporting a leather jacket and an edgy V-cut hairstyle. The imagery of a bold red V against towering skyscrapers sets a gritty, crime-infested tone, while the tagline The Story of a Lone Wolf hints at a complex and solitary protagonist.

This new venture promises a raw and unseen side of the actor. While he wrote the story and conceived the screenplay, he worked on it for months to perfect the tone and get the look, feel right. Highly renowned and talented technicians will be working on the film with Ram holding the center stage wielding the microphone. The regular shooting for this highly anticipated film will commence in June, and the makers are already eyeing a December release.
