Ram Pothineni shoots 24 hours non-stop for directorial debut RAPO23

Ram Pothineni completed a gruelling 24-hour shooting stretch for his directorial debut, RAPO23, on the outskirts of Pondicherry, according to reports from telugu360.com, m9.news, and 123telugu.com. He is not only directing but also playing the lead role, and 123telugu.com adds that he has written the story as well. The team shot for nearly nine days on a massive setup before unexpected rainfall forced a temporary halt, prompting the unit to return to Hyderabad.

The film is being produced by his brother Krishna Pothineni under Rapo Cinematics, per 123telugu.com. It is described as a large-scale neo-noir psychological action thriller. The technical crew includes music composer Sam CS, cinematographer Thirunavukarasu, action choreographer Peter Hein, and production designer A.S. Prakash, as reported by 123telugu.com.

The makers plan to return to Pondicherry soon to complete the remaining portions on the same sets. More updates on the cast and schedules are expected in the coming months.
