Actor Rishikanth has been gaining lot of love among Telugu audiences with his recent films. His performances in Dorothy and Modha Rathri made him favourite for many not only in Kollywood but also in Tollywood. Both films attracted viewers and brought him good popularity.

Meanwhile rumours recently suggested that Rishikanth might play a role in Ram Charan and director Sukumar’s upcoming film tentatively titled RC17. The speculation started after he attended the film’s grand launch ceremony in Hyderabad. His presence at the event made many people believe that he had joined the film’s cast.

But Rishikanth has now put an end to these rumours. He clearly stated that he is not part of the Ram Charan-Sukumar project. He also explained why he attended the film’s launch event.

Speaking about the rumours, Rishikanth said, “I am not part of RC17. I attended the movie pooja because I had worked on Modha Rathri with Mythri Productions, and they invited me. Rather than letting people watch the film and later realise I am not part of it, I wanted to clarify it myself.” This has put an end to the ongoing speculation.

Meanwhile, RC17 has lot of expectations as Ram Charan and Sukumar are coming together again after the success of their previous film Rangasthalam. The makers recently held a grand pooja ceremony in Hyderabad. Megastar Chiranjeevi attended the event and gave the first clap for the project.

The regular shooting is reportedly expected to begin in February 2027.
