Open to doing Indian films: Ram Charan talks about doing Bollywood

Actor Ram Charan made his Bollywood debut with ‘Zanjeer’ in 2013 co-starring Priyanka Chopra. The film was not a hit in the box office. Since ‘Zanjeer’, the actor had not made a comeback to Bollywood. Ram Charan is a well-known and one of the most appreciated actor in Telugu films. Ram Charan’s new film RRR with Jr NTR and SS Rajamouli, co-starring Alia Bhatt is all set to release in theatres. The film was supposed to release on January 7 but the new Covid-19 variant has postponed all the plans until any further announcement.

When asked in an interview if he is still up for work in Bollywood after the failure of ‘Zanjeer’, the actor said, “It is all about the instinct and it is not that I don’t… I watch a lot of your films and love them. But, maybe, it happened to be now with RRR with Tarak and SS Rajamouli. We are open to doing Indian films.”

Tamil and Telugu actors had expressed their opinions on the gap between Hindi and regional cinema being lowered, as the regional cinema has been showered love from all over the nation. Actor Dhanush on Koffee shots with Karan mentioned that he likes to be called as an Indian actor, not Telugu or Tamil actor.

Expressing his views on the same, Ram Charan said, “RRR is very much a Hindi film as it is a Telugu film, it is pan-India film. Today, thanks to efforts by a lot of filmmakers, especially Rajamouli, the gates of this industry have opened. We have stopped being regional and we have become a part of one big Indian film industry, the barriers are broken. So, as and when an opportunity comes, why not, I will do any film. The scale of RRR, and how many languages the film will release in will break all barriers. It is all about the excitement.”
