Ram Pothineni is leaving no stone unturned for his ambitious directorial debut, RaPo23. According to sources, he recently pulled off an intense 24-hour shooting stretch on the outskirts of Pondicherry for the film. What makes this effort even more demanding is that he is not just calling the shots as the director but is also playing the lead role.
A massive setup was mounted in Pondicherry for the schedule, which continued for nearly nine days. Sources suggest that he has been pushing himself vigorously as an actor while simultaneously overseeing every aspect of the film as its director. The scale at which RaPo23 is being mounted is also said to be one of the major talking points within the team.
However, unexpected rains disrupted the Pondicherry schedule, forcing the unit to temporarily halt filming and return to Hyderabad. The team is expected to head back to Pondicherry soon to complete the remaining portions on the same massive setup.
With him taking on the dual responsibility of actor and director and putting himself through such demanding schedules, RaPo23 appears to be shaping up as one of his most ambitious projects yet. The film is being planned on a large scale, and more updates regarding its cast, characters, and upcoming schedules are expected in the coming months.
