Actress Raashii Khanna deleted a social media post that appeared to reveal actor Ram Pothineni on the sets of Rajinikanth's upcoming film Dharman. She had shared a picture with Rajinikanth and Ram captioned "Early morning workouts with Rajini Sir and Ram." The post went viral before it was taken down. Neither the film's team nor Ram Pothineni has officially confirmed his participation.

Telugu360 reports that Ram's role and involvement remain unannounced, with earlier reports linking him to the project. Bollywood Hungama reports that Ram Pothineni is part of the ensemble cast alongside Simran, Raashii Khanna and Yogi Babu. The outlet also quotes Raashii saying she considers Rajinikanth "my buddy now" and calling him one of her favourite co-stars.
Dharman is a Tamil action-drama directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, produced by Kamal Haasan under Raaj Kamal Films International. The film is slated for a worldwide theatrical release during the Pongal window in January 2027.
Telugu360 led with the deleted post and speculation about Ram Pothineni's unannounced role, framing the story around a viral slip. Bollywood Hungama instead led with Raashii Khanna's own account of bonding with Rajinikanth on set, treating the cast as confirmed. The absence of an official announcement on Ram's role leaves Telugu360's framing dependent on speculation, while Bollywood Hungama's promotional tone may underplay the secrecy. The clearest shared fact is that neither the team nor Ram has confirmed his involvement. The film's January 2027 release will reveal the full cast list.
