Ram Charan: The Multi-talented Actor and Producer of Telugu Cinema

Ram Charan Konidela was born on 1985 March 27th to Konidela Chiranjeevi and Surekha in Chennai. Chiranjeevi was a busy actor those days who used to work for 10- 15 movies every year. Ram Chara with his two sisters Sushmitha and Srija mostly spend their time at their uncle Allu Aravind's house. Ram Charan was close to Allu Aravind's sons Allu Arjun and Venkatesh. 

Ram Charan studied at Padma Seshadri Bala Bhavan till his fifth standard and then Chiranjeevi Shifted to Hyderabad with family. He studied from 5th to 8th at Ooty school. Then he joined Hyderabad Public School in Hyderabad for his 9th and 10th. Hero Sharwanad was his classmate. As a kid Charan was fond of remote cars, and developed interest in Cricket, hugely inspired by Sachin Tendulkar. He used to be inclined towards cricket and cars. Later he expressed his interest in moving to Germany to complete a course in Automobile engineering. Chiranjeevi wanted his son to carry his acting legacy but never forced Charan but Chiranjeevi felt that he could influence his brother, nephew and a lot of youngsters to enter the film industry as heroes but could not influence his own son. 

Later Aravind and Chiranjeevi asked directors to meet Charan to instigate acting interest in him and he understood the pulse of craze in fans here. While Charan was in B. Com second year he made up his mind to act in films and Chiranjeevi sent him to London to do a course in acting and then to Mumbai. By the time Charan was back Chiranjeevi was already making preparations for his grand launch. Chiranjeevi sent Aravind to Rajamouli but Rajamouli could not plan a film with a debutant hero without knowing his acting skills so they chose director Puri Jagan to direct him in "Chirutha" and famous producer Aswini Dutt was keen on launching Ram Charan in his banner.

The film released towards the end of September 2007 in about 708 screens worldwide, and the film ran for 50 days in 175 centres, 100 days in 40 theatres. Most of the people felt that the film was a decent hit only because of Megastar. People also doubted if Ram Charan would earn stardom in future like his father. Ram Charan faced criticism for his looks and acting skills. Allu Aravind then approached Rajamouli for a remarkable story for Charan. Rajamouli also kept his promise he made to Chiranjeevi that he would direct him for his 2nd film after knowing his skills and worked on a script with his father Vijayendra Prasad on re-birth and called it Magadheera. This film re-wrote the records created by Mahesh Babu's Pokiri. Charan acted in a dual role and improved his acting skills compared to his first film.

Chiranjeevi's brother Nagababu produced Charan's third film, Orange, the concept completely new and the audience could not get connected. Nagababu lost all his money. Charan also realised how wavy the life of an actor could be. Then, he took the selection of scripts seriously and decided to take his responsibility all by himself. He made movies like Raccha, Nayak, Govindhudu Andarivaadele. He made a bollywood entry with Zanjeer which was a flop. He then made Bruce Lee in Telugu which was again a flop. He then remade a Tamil film into Telugu called Druva which was a hit. Then he also tested his fate as a producer for Chiranjeevi's 150 th movie, a super hit.

Then, Sukumar prepared Rangasthalam for Ramcharan, a blockbuster hit. Ram Charan took almost 10 years to prove himself as a complete actor and widened the market for his films. 

his was the highest grosser that year. This was also dubbed and released in Kannada in 2019. Then Charan was picked up alongside NTR for his crazy multi starrer RRR. Ram Charan also acted with his father Chiranjeevi in Acharya directed by Koratala Shiiva. RRR is once again a super duper blockbuster. 

Ramcharan married Kamineni Upasana in 2012 June 14. He organised Polo horse riding club apart from Producing his father's movies. He also started Trujet airlines that had a lot of issues and repeated complaints so he sold it off.
