Ram Charan's RC16: AR Rahman Out?

In a surprising twist, legendary composer AR Rahman has reportedly withdrawn from RC16 (working title), the much-anticipated film starring Ram Charan and directed by Uppena fame Buchi Babu Sana.

According to industry insiders, Rahman had initially shown interest in the project after Buchi Babu presented the script. The acclaimed music director had even allocated dates for the film, fueling excitement among cinephiles. However, recent developments suggest that Rahman has opted out, though the reasons behind his decision remain unclear.

To fill the void left by Rahman, the makers have brought in Devi Sri Prasad (DSP), the celebrated composer known for his chart-topping tracks in Uppena and several other blockbusters. DSP’s inclusion has reassured fans that the film’s musical quality will remain top-notch, despite the initial disappointment of losing Rahman.

This isn't the first time Rahman has walked away from a major Telugu film. A similar incident occurred during Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, where Rahman exited the project, and a Bollywood composer took over. The parallels between the two situations have sparked debates among fans and industry watchers alike.
