Mega Powerstar Ram Charan, who tasted a flop with Bruce Lee, is now joining forces with director Surender Reddy for a new movie which is the remake of Tamil blockbuster Thani Oruvan. Charan will reprise the role of Jayam Ravi as a fiery cop in this action entertainer produced by Allu Aravind under Geetha Arts banner.

The pre-production of the film is underway and the makers are planning to launch the film in February. Ram Charan has started prepping up for the role and is following a strict diet regime to get into the skin of the character of a cop. Updating about his workout schedule, Ram Charan stated that he will be sharing the tips and his diet chart for those who plan to get a healthy look. He writes, "Hey guys, Started my workout & diet regime for my next film. In couple of days Will post videos, tips & food plans designed to get anyone a healthy look."

Tentatively titled Rakshak, the film will see Aravind Swamy as the baddie.
