After RRR turned him into a global icon, Charan aimed to keep the momentum going, but Game Changer failed to meet expectations. Now, with RC16, directed by Buchi Babu, the stakes are higher than ever. Adding to the hype, Bollywood star Janhvi Kapoor is playing the female lead, making this project even more appealing to fans and streaming giants alike.
Set against the backdrop of sports, RC16 is already generating buzz. A recent video from the film’s shoot surfaced online, showing Ram Charan wielding a cricket bat, much to the excitement of fans. While the film’s content is still under wraps, discussions about its OTT rights have taken center stage. Major streaming platforms are vying for exclusive rights, with reports suggesting that Sony Liv has already made a record-breaking offer.
However, the latest industry talk indicates that the makers are leaning towards a partnership with Netflix. Given Ram Charan’s international recognition, a global platform like Netflix could provide a wider reach and maximize the film’s success. While negotiations are still ongoing, insiders claim that a massive deal is on the horizon.
With competition heating up, all eyes are on which streaming giant will ultimately win the race. If Netflix secures the rights, RC16 could become one of the biggest OTT releases in Telugu cinema. As the film moves closer to completion, one thing is certain—this is just the beginning of RC16’s record-breaking journey!
