Macho star Gopichand is at his stylish best in the first glimpse of director Sriwass’ Rama Banam

Vicky Agamanam, the first glimpse from the action entertainer was unveiled today

Macho star Gopichand and director Sriwass’, the combo that gave us blockbusters like Lakshyam and Loukyam in the past, are coming together for their hattrick project, Rama Banam, another kickass action entertainer being made on a massive scale. TG Vishwa Prasad and Vivek Kuchibhotla are bankrolling the film under People Media Factory. Dimple Hayati plays the leading lady in the film, whose shoot is nearing completion.

Gopichand is cast as Vicky in Rama Banam, the 30th project in his career, and the first glimpse of his character, Vicky Agamanam, was unveiled today. In the glimpse, Gopichand a.k.a Vicky, sporting a no-nonsense expression, dons a wide variety of stylish costumes in different backdrops. There are fireworks with his arrival and he gives a handful to henchmen who’re seen flying mid-air.

The slick action choreography and the impressive cinematography grab your attention instantly. Suddenly, Gopichand’s mood shifts from action as he slips into a boy-next-door avatar, where an elderly man refers to him as ‘Chinnoda’ and he enters a house named Amrutha Nilayam. What connects the house to the action sequences? The glimpse leaves you curious.

The impressive background score from Mickey J Meyer contributes to the slick vibe of the glimpse. The first look of the film where Gopichand is in an intense avatar, holding a dagger while dealing with a bunch of goons, amidst a lively backdrop filled with various shades of red, impressed film buffs too. Jagapathi Babu and Khushbu are cast as Gopichand’s on-screen brother and sister-in-law respectively. The title of the film was confirmed by Nandamuri Balakrishna on his chat show Unstoppable with NBK during Sankranthi, in which Gopichand had made an appearance along with Prabhas.

A lot of detailing has gone into Gopichand’s look in the film and the team has left no stone unturned to give the actor a complete makeover. The star has made a lot of effort to stay true to the story and the vision of director Sriwass. Sriwass is confident that Rama Banam will present a distinct dimension to him as a filmmaker in comparison to Lakshyam and Loukyam. The producers TG Vishwa Prasad and Vivek Kuchibhotla are confident about spending lavishly on the output and are happy with the way the film has been shaping up.

The producers are equally thrilled with the response for the title from Gopichand’s fans and movie buffs. Sriwass is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the film, made on a grand canvas, lives up to audience’s expectations.

Bhupathi Raja has written the story for Rama Banam, for which Vetri Palani Swamy is the cinematographer. Madhusudan Padamati pens the dialogues and Prawin Pudi is the editor respectively. The entertainer is gearing up for a summer release in 2023.
