Kiara Advani, who shared screen space with Ram Charan in Vinaya Vidheya Rama, has been roped in to play the female lead in RC 15, says a source. She will be essaying the role of a reporter in this political thriller to be directed by Shankar.

It is being said that the makers have tossed up a few names of the actresses and finally zeroed in on Kiara Advani, who is quite familiar with the Telugu audience. Produced by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations banner, RC 15 is expected to go on floors in June soon after Charan wraps up RRR. 

The film is being made on a pan-Indian scale and the makers are planning to wrap up the film in a single uninterrupted schedule. To be shot simultaneously in Telugu and Tamil, RC 15 will also be dubbed into Malayalam and Hindi. The makers are planning to release the film in 2022. 

Meanwhile, Ram Charan is on the verge of completing the shooting for his extended cameo in Acharya. He has recently wrapped up shooting for the climax of RRR and will join the sets again for a song shoot later this month. Kiara, on the other hand, was last seen in Telugu in Mahesh Babu-starrer Bharat Ane Nenu.
