In last month, Dil Raju announced that his upcoming production will be directed by Shankar and would feature Ram Charan in the lead. It will be Ram Charan’s 15th feature film and will mark 50 film celebration for Dil Raju’s production house. All the details about the film have been kept under wraps, but Pinkvilla has now got some exclusive information on the shoot schedule of this mammoth project. “It’s currently in the scripting and pre-production stage. The idea is to take it on the floors in the month of June 2021, as by then, Ram Charan would have completed his work on the SS Rajamouli directed RRR,” revealed a source close to the development.

Contrary to the general belief of this being a high on VFX project, the source assures that Shankar gets back to the roots of telling dramatic tales backed by powerful emotions with this next Pan-Indian film. “It’s Shankar at his best, exploring the zone that Ram Charan excels in. Expect a lot of drama, elevation scenes and powerful dialogues from this combo. Charan is all excited to collaborate with Shankar for the first time,” the source added. With the yet untitled film currently in the forefront, one wonders what will happen to Indian 2.

“A major chunk of Indian 2 has already been shot with international prosthetic and VFX team working on the film. Around 65 days of shoot still remains but at this point of time, the film is in a major limbo due to multiple internal conflicts. They have spent Rs 165 crore on the film so far, and the remaining 65 to 70 days of shoot requires another a bare minimum amount of Rs 60 crore, taking total budget to Rs 225 crore plus. We hope all issues are resolved and the team gets back to finish the film, but it’s all up in the air at the moment, with no clarity on shooting schedules. The actors of Indian 2 have moved on to their next projects, and so has Shankar,” shared the source, adding further that Shankar is also in talks with Ranveer Singh for a film, which, if materialized, will go on floors after the Ram Charan film.
