Director change for RC17. It is known that Ram Charan's project with Sukumar has been announced long back and it was confirmed during Ram Charan's Game Changer. It was supposed to be RC16 but when Ram Charan gave green signal to Buchhi Babu Sana, as he happens to be protege of Sukumar, on mutual understanding, Sukumar-Ram Charan's project became RC17 and Buchhi Babu Sana-Ram Charan project Peddi turned out to be RC16.
Ram Charan would have propelled Sukumar project had he planned because the duo earlier scored a blockbuster Rangasthalam. But Sukumar sacrificed for his protege. Now reports are coming that, Ram Charan is planning to do a project with wizard of words Trivikram Srinivas after Peddi, setting aside his project with Sukumar.
This is happening due to Pawan Kalyan. Buzz is when Trivikram narrated a story to Pawan Kalyan, he recommended Ram Charan saying he is more apt for the role. Ram Charan also loved the subject. Pawan Kalyan is pressuring Ram Charan saying the story is such that the project cannot be delayed for long. Ram Charan cannot go against Pawan Kalyan and so the project is expected to go to sets after Peddi and it will be bankrolled under Trivikram and Ram Charan’s production houses.
