Movie Career
Ram Charan started his acting career in Telugu cinema with Puri Jagannadh`s Chirutha in 2007. The movie was a commercial hit and Ram Charan`s performance in the movie won his great appreciation from the critics. The actor went on to win the Nandi Special Jury Award as well as the Filmfare Best South Debutant Award for the same movie.

If Chirutha announced Ram Charan`s arrival on the big screen, his next film Magadheera proved that he is a real star in the making. Directed by S.S.Rajamouli, the movie emerged to be a blockbuster hit. Apart from exhibiting his acting and dancing skills, this movie even showcased his horse-riding skills in an amicable manner. The movie won Ram Charan a Filmfare Award for Best Actor - Telugu. After the success of Magadheera, Ram Charan, next appeared in Bommarillu Bhaskar`s Orange. The movie released in 2010 and the actor played the role of an NRI living in Australia. The film was an average hit and Ram Charan was appreciated for his performance. In 2013, Ram Charan played a dual role in the action drama movie Naayak, which also stars Kajal Aggarwal and Amala Paul in lead roles.

In the same year, Ram Charan made his Bollywood debut with the much hyped Zanjeer, which was the remake of the 1973 movie of the same name starring Amitabh Bachchan. The movie also starring Priyanka Chopra in the lead role did not perform well at the box-office and got negative reviews. The movie was later remade in Telugu as Thoofan, which also failed miserably at the box-office. The actor more than made up for his consecutive failures with his 2014 movie, Yevadu directed by Vamshi Paidipally. The movie co-starring Shruti Haasan, Amy Jackson, Allu Arjun and Kajal Aggarwal got mixed reviews but was a huge commercial hit. His other release in the same year, Govindudu Andarivadele opened to mostly positive reviews and grossed more than 40 crores INR.
