Tollywood’s acclaimed director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, celebrated for hits like Arjun Reddy and Animal, recently received a heartwarming surprise from actor Ram Charan and his wife Upasana Konidela. Amid his busy schedule juggling multiple projects, Sandeep took to social media to share the thoughtful gift, quickly capturing fans’ attention.
Ram Charan and Upasana gifted Sandeep a jar of their homemade mango pickle—‘avakaya pachadi’—crafted lovingly under their culinary venture “Athamma’s Kitchen.” Alongside the delicious treat, they sent a heartfelt note that touched the director deeply. Sharing a photo of the jar on Instagram, Sandeep expressed his delight: “This surprise is wonderful and it tastes amazing.” He gratefully thanked the couple for their warm gesture, sparking a wave of enthusiastic responses from fans with comments like “Wow” and “Super.”
Currently, Sandeep Reddy Vanga is engrossed in his high-profile pan-India film Spirit, starring superstar Prabhas in his debut role as a police officer. The project has stirred some buzz, especially around the casting of the female lead. Reports suggest that Deepika Padukone was initially considered but later replaced following creative differences. Adding fuel to the fire, Sandeep subtly called out Deepika’s PR team on social media, hinting at unauthorized leaks related to the film.
While the Spirit project unfolds, this sweet and unexpected gesture from Ram Charan and Upasana serves as a warm reminder of camaraderie within Tollywood’s creative circle.
