It was earlier announced that after wrapping up the big-budget film, Ram Charan will team up with director Gowtam Tinnanuri of Jersey fame for a movie, which will mark the actor’s 16th film. Now, it is said that the movie, referred to as RC16, has been shelved due to undisclosed reasons.

The film was supposed to be produced by NV Prasad under NVR Cinema and UV Creations banners. The news has disappointed many fans of the director and the Telugu star. Meanwhile, Gowtam and the production house are yet to officially confirm the news.
Ram Charan recently promoted his film RRR in Japan. The film was released to a great box office response in Japan. He will soon join the sets of his movie with Shankar, which has Kiara Advani, SJ Suryah, Anjali and Jayaram in pivotal roles.
