Hyderabad, March 18 - Telugu superstar Ram Charan's period action drama film Rangasthalam with director Sukumar is the special film of his career. Charan's character in the movie Chelluboina Chitti Babu is an absolute favorite to the fans and his performance is considered the finest ever of him. ## Charan is currently working on director Shankar's political thriller, tentatively titled C.E.O. After completing this, the RRR fame will start Uppena director Buchi Babu Sana's film.

During India Today Conclave conducted in New Delhi yesterday, Charan spoke highly about RC16 and said that it will be bigger than Rangasthalam. ## The details of the movie are not known yet but the actor said that he is playing a path-breaking character in RC16, which is better than Rangasthalam.

Tokyo, March 18 - SS Rajamouli's Oscar-winning blockbuster RRR is having a dream run at the Japan box office. Despite being in its 22nd week, the period action drama is putting insane numbers and has now crossed the historic milestone of $10 million there. ## Released in October last year, the Jr. NTR and Ram Charan-fronted flick has so far collected approx. ¥1360 million or $10.13 million or INR 84 crores in 21 weeks. The collection of RRR witnessed a huge jump in its 21st week after the film's Oscar win. ## It is insane that the 21st-week collection (¥125 million) of RRR is the highest so far in its box office run in Japan and it is almost 6 times higher than the 9th week of collection (¥21 million) which is the lowest week-wise total of the movie so far. ## At one point, it was looking difficult for RRR to even cross ¥500 million after the slow start in Japan. However, ever since the movie started making noise in award seasons, the collections started soaring and eventually hit the coveted ¥1 billion mark and now, it is heading towards ¥1.5 billion, possibly by next week. ## The total worldwide collection of RRR now stands at approx. 1210 crores, becoming the 3rd highest-grossing Indian movie ever. It has crossed the lifetime collection of Yash-fronted KGF: Chapter 2 which grossed approx. 1208 crores worldwide. ## Stay tuned...
