RC17: Mythri Ravi Shankar Drops a Big Hint About Ram Charan’s Next Film

Ram Charan and Sukumar’s much-awaited collaboration is moving closer to its launch, with producer Ravi Shankar revealing when the film’s pooja ceremony is likely to take place.

At the teaser launch event of Mouli’s Donga Naa Koduku, Mythri Movie Makers producer Ravi Shankar found himself answering an unexpected question about Ram Charan’s upcoming film with director Sukumar, tentatively titled RC17.

During the event, Mouli asked the producer to share an update on the highly anticipated project. Responding to the question, Ravi Shankar revealed that the film’s launch ceremony, initially planned for the Dussehra festive season, had to be postponed due to the lack of an auspicious date.

“The pooja ceremony was supposed to have happened during Dussehra, but there wasn’t any auspicious date to kick off the journey. The pooja event will happen either on October 26 or 27,” Ravi Shankar said, adding a touch of humour to his response.

With the producer indicating October 26 or 27 as the likely dates for the launch ceremony, excitement surrounding the Ram Charan–Sukumar project is growing. However, the final date is yet to be officially confirmed.

The combination of Ram Charan and Sukumar has naturally generated considerable interest among moviegoers. Their previous collaboration, Rangasthalam, emerged as a major success and remains one of the most celebrated films in both their careers. Expectations are high for their reunion, with fans eager to see what the filmmaker has planned this time.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that Sara Arjun and Aneet Padda are being considered for the female lead roles in RC17. However, the makers have not officially confirmed the casting details.

With the launch ceremony reportedly approaching, fans are now waiting for an official announcement from the team. More details about the cast, technical crew and production schedule are expected to emerge as the project moves forward.

Jio IPO Makes a Strong Start, Surpasses Hyundai IPO in Bid Value

Jio Platforms Ltd’s much-awaited initial public offering (IPO) has opened with a massive response from investors, setting a new benchmark for demand among large Indian IPOs. The Rs 30,230-crore public issue received bids worth approximately Rs 95,500 crore on the first day, making it the highest bid value recorded for an Indian IPO exceeding Rs 15,000 crore.

According to stock exchange data, investors bid for 62.3 crore shares against the 19.75 crore shares offered, taking the IPO subscription to 3.1 times on Day 1. Including the Rs 2.5 lakh crore raised through the anchor investor portion, the total demand has reportedly reached around Rs 3.45 lakh crore.

Jio IPO Beats Hyundai Motor India in Investor Demand

With its impressive opening-day response, the Jio Platforms IPO has already surpassed Hyundai Motor India’s Rs 27,859-crore public issue. Hyundai’s IPO attracted bids worth approximately Rs 66,000 crore during its three-day subscription period in October 2024. Jio Platforms has therefore established a new benchmark for investor demand in the large-issue category, even before its subscription window closes.

QIBs Lead the Subscription Race

Institutional investors have emerged as the biggest contributors to the demand for Jio Platforms shares. The portion reserved for qualified institutional buyers (QIBs) was subscribed 9.4 times on the first day, with bids for 46.1 crore shares against the 4.9 crore shares available in this category.

The strong institutional response highlights the significant interest surrounding the telecom and digital services giant’s public offering.

LG Electronics India Still Holds the Overall Record

Despite the extraordinary demand, Jio Platforms has not yet broken the record for the highest overall bid value among Indian IPOs. LG Electronics India’s Rs 11,607-crore IPO attracted bids worth approximately Rs 6.2 lakh crore after being subscribed 54 times.

However, Jio Platforms still has two more days of subscription remaining, leaving room for demand to rise further.

Jio IPO: Subscription Closing Date and Listing

The Jio Platforms IPO subscription is scheduled to close on October 23, while its stock market listing is expected on October 28. With such a strong opening-day response, all eyes are now on the remaining subscription period to see whether the issue can set further records.

The key question is whether Jio Platforms can convert its massive opening demand into one of the most remarkable IPO subscription stories in the Indian stock market.

The teaser hints at a series of comic situations arising from his desperate attempt to overcome his circumstances.

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers, Donga Naa Koduku is written and directed by Sreenu Kambala. Sushmita Shetty plays the female lead, and Sinjith Yerramilli is composing the music. With a promising combination of crime and comedy, the film aims to continue Mouli’s successful run following Little Hearts.

CULT Trailer: Vishwaksen’s Deadly Game of Survival Raises Expectations

Vishwaksen is stepping into a new territory with #CULT, a dark thriller that promises a violent mix of survival, action, and suspense.
