In a promising new development for Telugu cinema, actor Ram Pothineni is reportedly in advanced talks to star in a grand supernatural thriller backed by Arka Media Works, the prestigious production house behind the Baahubali franchise. The project, currently untitled, is said to be helmed by young director Kishore and is expected to go on floors later this year.

According to industry sources, Arka Media is gearing up for a large-scale, period-based narrative steeped in black magic, mysticism, and supernatural elements. This film marks the banner’s first foray into the horror-thriller genre and is designed to blend epic storytelling with modern cinematic appeal—tapping into the growing appetite for genre-bending thrillers in Tollywood.

The project had initially been in the pipeline with Naga Chaitanya considered for the lead, but scheduling conflicts reportedly caused delays and forced a change in plans. With Ram Pothineni now in talks, the project could take a fresh turn. If finalized, this would mark Ram’s first collaboration with Arka Media Works and a significant shift from his recent run of mass entertainers.

For Arka Media Works, known for critically acclaimed titles like Vedam, Maryada Ramana, Anaganaga O Dheerudu, and Panjaa, this supernatural thriller signals a new creative direction following the global success of Baahubali. Their consistent association with visionary filmmaker S. S. Rajamouli has kept the production house in the spotlight, and this new venture is expected to further diversify their cinematic legacy.

With Ram’s potential involvement and Arka’s reputation for scale and innovation, this supernatural thriller could be one of the most anticipated Telugu films on the horizon.
