Priyanka Chopra and Ram Charan worked in the movie Zanjeer back in 2013. Charan debuted with the film in Bollywood. However, during the promotions of the film, Priyanka Chopra revealed that she wasn’t aware of Ram Charan’s huge popularity in the country, until the two visited Hyderabad where PeeCee could see that a huge number of people following them.
She said, “I didn’t know Ram much before Zanjeer. I was not aware of his popularity until we visited Hyderabad for the film’s shoot.” She further added, “Around 300 fans always used to follow us wherever we would shoot in the city. He is a superstar and has got loyal fans.”
Later Ram Charan revealed why he didn’t work Hindi films after Zanjeer, saying, “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.”
He added, “RRR is very much a Hindi film as it is a Telugu film, it is a 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.” As quoted by Koi Moi.
Currently RRR has been receiving immense love from the movie buffs, and is all set to mark over 500 cr in the country, given stellar chemistry between Jr NTR and Ram Charan.
