After shooting in Khopoli and Lonavala in the second week of this month, the fresh schedule of Shankar’s next with Ram Charan has begun in Rajahmundry on Thursday. This is a small schedule, lasting only five-six days. “Shankar is shooting the flashback portions of the film. In fact, this schedule is completely dedicated to the flashback part– sequences involving senior Charan will be shot. Charan is participating in the shoot along with Srikanth and Samuthirakani right now. A massive number of extras are also deployed for the shoot,” says a source.

The source adds that Shankar will be shooting in Rajahmundry just today, while the shoot will shift to Visakhapatnam tomorrow. “Vizag leg ends on Saturday. It will be followed by a day’s shoot in Hyderabad and Kurnool. This schedule will end next Tuesday and the unit will later take a break to welcome the New Year. The next schedule resumes in January,” the source concludes.

A political drama from the stables of Dil Raju’s Sri Venkateswara Creations, the still untitled film sees Ram Charan as a crusader against corruption. It marks the actor’s maiden collaboration with the Bharateeyudu helmer. #RC15 also stars SJ Suryah, Anjali, Jayaram and Sunil in other important roles, while Kiara Advani is paired opposite Charan. S Thaman, who made his acting debut in Shankar’s Boys (2003), is joining forces with his mentor again, but this time as a composer.
