Rain halts Ram Pothineni’s directorial debut RaPo23 shoot in Puducherry

Rain has forced the team of Ram Pothineni's directorial debut, tentatively titled RaPo23, to halt shooting in Puducherry and return to Hyderabad, Cinema Express reports. The crew had erected a massive set on the outskirts of Puducherry for a nine-day schedule, during which Ram completed an intense 24-hour shooting stretch while also playing the lead role.

RaPo23 is described as a psychological action thriller set against a dark neo-noir backdrop. The film, produced by Krishna Pothineni under Rapo Cinematics, features National Award-winning cinematographer Thirunavukarasu, stunt choreographers Vikram Mor and Peter Hein, and production designer AS Prakash.

The team expects to return to Puducherry soon to finish the remaining portions on the same set. More updates on the cast and schedules are expected in the coming months.
