Actress Raashi Khanna has confirmed that Ram Pothineni is part of the cast of Dharman, the upcoming Rajinikanth-led film directed by Ashwath Marimuthu. She shared a carousel of behind-the-scenes photos on Instagram from the film's Mysore schedule. One picture shows her alongside Ram Pothineni and Rajinikanth after a workout.

The post has confirmed long-standing rumours about Ram's role in the film. Some reports had speculated he would play Raashi Khanna's love interest and Rajinikanth's on-screen son-in-law, or an antagonist. Dharman also stars Simran and Yogi Babu, with music by Anirudh Ravichander. The film is produced by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International.
The coverage is uniform straight reporting from both outlets, no discernible stance difference. 123telugu.com frames the Instagram post as a deleted picture that confirm the rumour, while Cinema Express focuses on Raashi Khanna's own caption as her official announcement. Neither outlet questions the casting or criticises the production. The implication is that the film's progress is routine for a Pongal 2027 project. The next update to watch is the official announcement from the makers for the release date.
