Ram Pothineni is taking on a demanding challenge with RaPo23, his upcoming directorial debut. The actor-director recently completed a 24-hour continuous shooting stretch during the film’s Pondicherry schedule.

The team had set up a large-scale shoot on the outskirts of Pondicherry, with the schedule continuing for nearly nine days. The shoot has been particularly demanding for Ram as he is handling both the lead role and direction. He has to move between performing in front of the camera and overseeing the film behind it.

However, the schedule was cut short after heavy rains disrupted the shoot. The unit returned to Hyderabad temporarily and is expected to head back to Pondicherry to complete the remaining portions using the same setup.

RaPo23 marks Ram Pothineni’s first film as a director, making the project an important one in his career. While details about the story and the rest of the cast are still being kept under wraps, the scale of the Pondicherry schedule suggests that Ram is mounting the film on a bigger canvas. The team is expected to resume the pending shoot soon, while more details about RaPo23 and its cast are likely to be revealed in the coming months.
