Ram Pothineni’s 22nd film RAPO22 under the direction of Mahesh Babu P is progressing with its shoot.
On the occasion of Ram's birthday, the makers unveiled the title glimpse, offering a peek into his character and the film’s nostalgic backdrop.
The story is set in the early 2000s, a golden era when FDFS Fridays were festivals for movie fans. The narrative sheds light on a unique cultural phenomenon, showing the struggle of theatre owners to balance demands for tickets while happily prioritizing die-hard fans.
Ram plays one such passionate fan of a superstar portrayed by Upendra. Though Upendra doesn’t appear in the glimpse, a towering cutout of his character powerfully conveys his presence and impact.
Ram’s character is introduced with flair- from his stylish cycle parking to his swagger while securing FDFS tickets, all culminating in his euphoric participation in the fan frenzy.
The title Andhra King Taluka is revealed, reinforcing the idea that on First Day First Show, the fan is the true king.
Director Mahesh Babu P delivers this message with finesse, capturing the spirit of fandom with an electrifying visual narrative.
Siddhartha Nuni’s cinematography brilliantly captures the retro vibe, while the musical duo Vivek–Merwin amplifies the excitement with a pulsating background score. Backed by Mythri Movie Makers, the glimpse showcases impressive production values.
