Rahul Ramakrishna Turns Director: Announces Debut Film, Casting Call Now Open
Popular Telugu actor Rahul Ramakrishna, known for his impactful comic timing and relatable on-screen presence, is all set to don a new hat — that of a director. After earning a loyal fan base through acclaimed roles in Arjun Reddy, Jathi Ratnalu, Geetha Govindam, and Bharat Ane Nenu, the versatile actor is now stepping behind the camera for his first directorial venture.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) earlier today, Rahul shared the exciting news with fans and aspiring actors.
“My first directorial venture – adventure! If interested, please mail your acting portfolios/resumes/showreels to the email ID mentioned in the picture,” he posted, sparking a wave of curiosity and enthusiasm.
While the project remains under wraps in terms of genre, storyline, and production banner, the open casting call suggests that the film is in its early development stage. Actors eager to collaborate with the debutant director are already sending in their profiles.
With this move, Rahul joins a growing league of Telugu comedians transitioning into direction. While Venu Yeldandi tasted critical and commercial success with Balagam, others like Dhanraj with Ramam Raghavam saw less favorable outcomes. All eyes are now on Rahul to see if he can strike the right chord with audiences from the director’s chair. More information about the film’s cast, crew, and production timeline is expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
