Ram Charan rose to nationwide fame with SS Rajamouli’s 2022 blockbuster ‘RRR’, co-starring Jr NTR. The actor is also known for his performances in films such as ‘Magadheera’ and ‘Rangasthalam’.

Interestingly, his wife Upasana Konidela has a different film of Charan as her favourite.

Why ‘Naayak’ holds a special place for Upasana

During the 31st CII Partnership Summit, Upasana was asked about her favourite Ram Charan film. To the host’s surprise, she named the 2013 action entertainer ‘Naayak’. Explaining her choice, she said, “VV Vinyak Garu took this movie of his and that was the first film that I went on set as a wife, So I will always remember it.”Directed by VV Vinayak, ‘Naayak’ featured Ram Charan in a double role.

He played Cherry, an easygoing young man involved in a romantic track and comic situations, and Siddharth Naayak, a more serious character caught in a conflict with dangerous people.

Ram Charan and Upasana’s relationship

Ram Charan and Upasana got engaged in December 2011 and tied the knot in June 2012 at a grand ceremony in Hyderabad. The couple welcomed their daughter, Klin Kaara Konidela, in June 2023. This year the couple became parents once again as they welcomed their twins, a baby boy and a baby girl, on January 31, 2026.

Ram Charan’s previous film ‘Peddi’

Apart from ‘RRR’, Ram Charan has earned recognition for films such as ‘Magadheera’, ‘Rangasthalam’, ‘Dhruva’ and ‘Yevadu’. He was last seen in the sports action drama ‘Peddi’, directed by Buchi Babu Sana. The film also features Janhvi Kapoor, Shiva Rajkumar, Divyenndu, Jagapathi Babu and Boman Irani. According to trade analyst Sacnilk, the film minted over Rs. 341.90 crore from its worldwide collection.

Ram Charan reunites with Sukumar

The actor is now set to reunite with director Sukumar for the tentatively titled ‘RC17’. The project marks their collaboration after the success of ‘Rangasthalam’. The pooja ceremony was held a few days ago, where Chiranjeevi gave the first clap.
