The Bharat Ram family was into philanthropy a way earlier. They build institutes such as Shri Ram College of Commerce, Lady Shri Ram College, and Shri Ram Schools. They are very inspiring.
I have carried the burden of my dad’s image since day one. They never see me as just another guy trying to make his career in the film industry. I am always ‘Megastar’ Chiranjeevi’s son first, and Ram Charan only later.
I became an actor only as a result of Madhuri Dixit. I was watching ‘Ram Lakhan,’ and her song ‘Bada dukh dina’ started playing. The minute I saw it, I told my mother, ‘I wish to accomplish it. I desire to be on TV.’
Hathi Ram’s journey intrigued me. He is a very vulnerable character. I was never offered such a role of a man who is a failure in life and is desperate to prove himself. It was a good change for me to play someone with such a nice arc and so many shades to his personality.
The country will never vote in favour of those who do not acknowledge Lord Ram and Lord Krishna.

Even bigger directors like Mani Ratnam and Ram Gopal Varma have faced flak, that doesn’t mean they’ve shied away from filmmaking.
Working with Ram Gopal Varma is a great experience. He is such a wonderful director and no other director gives freedom to the actors like him.
There are all kinds of addictions, and I’ve got every single one. If you set me in front of anything, I will do it until I ram it into the ground and it’s done working for me.
I always say football is very unnatural sport. Nobody loves to just ram into people.
Ram Mandir is important to me because in a country where Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Jains are allowed to practice their faith anywhere, why should people from the majority have to yearn for a Ram temple?
