Ram Pothineni shoots non-stop for 24 hours for RAPO23

Actor Ram Pothineni is pulling double duty on the sets of his upcoming project, tentatively titled RAPO23, as he makes his directorial debut. Tupaki.com reports that Ram recently shot continuously for 24 hours near Puducherry. The team is reportedly amazed by his commitment as he acts in front of the camera while also checking frames and directing the next scene behind it.

The Puducherry schedule was intense, lasting nearly nine days with a massive set erected for the film. However, unseasonal rains forced a break in the shoot, and the unit returned to Hyderabad with some scenes pending. The team plans to return to Puducherry soon to complete the remaining scenes on the same set. The production faces some tension from the delay, but the unit is fixed on not compromising on the output.

Details about the lead actress and the rest of the cast are expected to be revealed in the coming days. Ram is taking a significant risk by both starring in and directing the film at a time when he needs a solid hit.
