Ram Charan-Janhvi Kapoor's 'RC 16' pushed to next year: Report
What's the story
The much-anticipated film, RC16, starring Ram Charan and Janhvi Kapoor, has been delayed. This is because Netflix bought the film's digital rights even before it went on floors, reported Telugu Chitraalu. Although the film was slated to premiere this year, it will now be rescheduled for a 2026 release. An official confirmation is awaited.
