Ram Pothineni

Actor

A Tollywood superstar that is known for his wild style and energy. He's currently one of the top superstars in the industry and has a huge fan following in India. He's managed to create a name at an extremely young age and continues to entertain audiences today.

Dub Movies King

Ram's movies have crossed industries and languages to be popular everywhere. His films have racked up an insane view count on Youtube. Here are just some of the latest stats as of writing-

  • Anupama Parameswaran- 368,402,602 million views, 2.6 million likes
  • Nenu Sailaja-403,142,682 million views, 1.9 million likes
  • iSmart Shankar-231,668,491 million views, 2.1 million likes
  • Vunnadhi Okate Zindagi-221,938,987 ,million views, 1.6 million likes

Even big Bollywood movies don't have these big viewership numbers on Youtube that his films have. It just showcases to us how much the South Industry has grown in the past few years. The dubbing of South Indian films has improved considerably, leading stars like Pothineni to crossover to other languages.

Philanthropist At Heart

Ram Pothineni's stardom hasn't gone to his head, and he's still incredibly humble, kind. He has spent a lot of time using his privilege to be part of the Swachh Bharat Mission. Ram has pledged to donate Rs 25 lakh to the CM Relief Fund to help support the flood victims.

He met the Urban Development Minister KTR to talk about the issue and handed him the cheque. Ram expressed quite a concern for the residents of Telangana and hoped the situation would get resolved quickly. Pothineni has also donated to charity Pratyusha Support (run by Samantha) to support Shravan Karthik. He is a six-month-old male child who was being treated for congenital heart disease-PDA. The hospital bills racked up to 1,78000, and he paid it all!!

Tech Geek

Ram Pothineni, like all the young people out there, is a huge tech geek. Pothineni has revealed that he owns more than 100 mobile phones. His first Instagram post was about an HTC phone, and it was his favourite phone at the time.

A Deep Connection To The Tamil Language

Ram is popular and known for his persona in the Telugu film industry. However, did you know that he is also a huge fan of the Tamil film industry. He was born in Telangana but four years later shifted to Tamil Nadu and spent his childhood there. Ram is extremely fluent in the language and has been trying to gain traction in Tamil cinema.

Endukante... Premanta! was supposed to be his big debut in the Tamil language. However, the film failed in Telugu, and other versions got scrapped.

He Couldn't Wait To Be On The Big Screen

Ram Pothineni used to be a good student and scored high grades in class. As Ram got older, he realised that acting was the only thing he wanted to do in his life. Being a naive kid, he thought that if he kept getting high grades, his parents would send him to college and not give him a chance. Ram consciously started getting lower grades and avoiding scoring higher in Exams. Eventually, he told his parents what he wanted to do with his life, supporting him.

Salman Khan Is A Huge Fan of Ram

When Khan was visiting Hyderabad and asked about Ram, he praised the star for his stylish and energetic performances. Salman's praise is understandable, considering his film Ready was a remake of Ram's feature. Even the movie Main Tera Hero starring Varun Dhawan, is a remake of the blockbuster Kandireega.

Animal Lover

Ram is a big animal lover and has had two pets that he's loved dearly- Sunny and Bart.

Sunny passed away a few years back, and he then got another dog Bart that has given him company ever since. Ram also loves to imitate these cute creatures and can create uncanny dog voices.

Ram Pothineni is going through a bit of transformation right now. He wants to play more dark and grey characters, for which we say Yesss. Pothineni makes going bad, so good and his brooding avatar is one of our favourites. He is one of our favourite Tollywood stars, and we can't wait to see our star on the big screen.
