Ram Charan's recent visit to Mumbai sparked several rumours, including his alleged collaboration with Rajkumar Hirani. Amid speculations, a source close to the Telugu heartthrob confirmed that the rumours don't hold any truth.

The source shared in a statement, "There is no news of Ram Charan signing a Bollywood project. He is busy with the work currently on his plate, and he has other priorities as well."

Ram Charan visited Mumbai last week. He was observing the annual Ayyappa Deeksha and concluded it by visiting Siddhivinayak Temple. He offered prayers at the Ganpati temple. Soon after, he met cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Ram Charan was in Mumbai before leaving for Tuscany to attend Varun Tej's wedding with Lavanya Tripathi.

Ram Charan made his Bollywood debut with the remake of Zanjeer in 2013. It was directed by Apoorva Lakhia and also starred Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt, Prakash Raj, Atul Kulkarni, and Mahie Gill. The film was also released in Telugu. The thriller was a remake of 1973's Zanjeer directed by Prakash Mehra. It starred Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Pran, Ajit Khan and Bindu. After the debacle of Zanjeer, Ram Charan hasn't appeared in any Hindi film. He did a cameo in Salman Khan's Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan with the song Yentamma.

According to reports, Ram Charan might be collaborating with Raveena Tandon's daughter, Rasha Thadani, for her first Telugu film. According to OTT Play, Buchi Babu Sana will also be a part of the film, in which he will play a pivotal role. Sources close to Ram Charan and Rasha are yet to make the news official.

Workwise, Ram Charan was last seen in SS Rajamouli's RRR. He did a cameo in his father's film Acharya. His next release will be Shankar's Gamechanger with Kiara Advani.
