Producer Dil Raju’s production company, Sri Venkateswara Creations, announced the launch date of its next project on Tuesday. The film starring Ram Charan in the lead, tentatively titled #RC15, will go on the floors following a customary puja ceremony on Wednesday.

The project has generated quite an excitement among the fans of Ram Charan as he will be collaborating with director Shankar for the first time. Even as Shankar is a familiar name in the Telugu states and his previous films like Enthiran, Anniyan had a good run at the box office there, this project will mark his first straight Telugu film.
