“Charan is the son of a star hero; he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He didn’t have to work this hard; he could have simply done what the director asked and moved on. But he chose to believe in hard work,” Chiranjeevi said.
Helmed by Buchi Babu Sana, the sports drama is set in 1980s Vizianagaram and has Ram playing the role of an athlete. For his role, the actor underwent a major transformation to build a chiseled and toned body.
Speaking on the physical transformation, Chiranjeevi said that Charan had to follow a rigorous routine during the preparation of the movie, waking up at 4 am to train his body before going to the sets.
"I witnessed the physical transformation he underwent for this movie at home every day. I saw Ram Charan’s fitness journey through my eyes. He would wake up at 4 am, train his body, and go to the sets. He would come home late at night, wouldn’t even freshen up, have some soup and go back to training. I asked him, is it necessary? But as an actor I commend his dedication. Watching his dedication filled me with immense pride," he said.
