Beyond RRR: How Dhruva helped Ram Charan stop being a ‘star’s son’ and become an actor | Telugu News

Published by Parlour News

By December 2016, Ram Charan needed a win. His previous film, Bruce Lee: The Fighter, had underperformed, and there was a quiet but real sense in Telugu cinema that he was still searching for his footing outside the mass entertainer mold that had defined most of his career.

The question being asked, not always loudly but consistently, was whether Chiranjeevi’s son could build a filmography that stood on its own terms. Then Dhruva arrived on December 9, 2016, and it changed the conversation. To understand what Dhruva meant, you have to understand where Ram Charan was at that point. He debuted in 2007 with Chirutha, which was a commercial success. Magadheera in 2009 had been a genuine landmark, both for his career and for Telugu cinema as a whole. But the years between Magadheera and Dhruva had been uneven. Films like Racha, Naayak, and Yevadu had their moments but none of them fully delivered on the promise of what …
