He told IANS, “My greetings to everyone. I had been wishing and praying for a long time to seek Baba’s blessings, and after so many years, I have finally received this opportunity. I am very grateful. I visited this place when I was very young, and Baba’s memories and prayers have always been part of our family.”

“I thank the entire staff, the organisers and Mahesh ji, who brought me here for Baba’s darshan. It was wonderful meeting all of you. I hope to return soon. Thank you,” the ‘Rangasthalam’ actor added.

On the professional front, Ram Charan recently commenced shooting for his next film with director Sukumar, tentatively titled ‘RC17’.

The much-anticipated project went on floors with a grand pooja ceremony in Hyderabad on November 1.

Sharing an update with movie buffs, the makers, Mythri Movie Makers, posted a video from the muhurat ceremony on their official social media handles. The clip showed Ram Charan arriving at the venue and warmly greeting the team members before lighting the ceremonial lamp.

The makers captioned the post: “Mega Power Star @AlwaysRamCharan arrives at the #RC17 Pooja Ceremony.”

In another post from the ceremony, Megastar Chiranjeevi was seen giving the muhurat clap and performing the auspicious coconut-breaking ritual.

In a heartwarming moment, Ram Charan touched his father’s feet before the two shared a warm hug.

“The journey of #RC17 begins with the MEGA CLAP… Megastar @chiranjeevikonidela garu sounded the clapboard and blessed the entire team of #RC17,” read the text accompanying the post.
