First look of RC 16

Ram Charan’s first look from RC 16 was unveiled on the occasion of his birthday in March. It featured a painted image of the actor's face with his signature beard and slicked-back hair. The earthy tones in red and brown chosen for the largely monochromatic poster added an air of mystery to the look.
