Ram Charan Teja Konidela turns a year older on March 27. Born to superstar Chiranjeevi, the star made his acting debut in 2007 with Chirutha and rose to prominence with his second film, Magadheera. Here is a look at his performances.
>Naayak (2013): Charan plays a double role in this film where his lookalike survives an attack after killing his brother-in-law’s murderer. The story picks up pace when his doppleganger joins him to plot revenge.
>Zanjeer (2013): The remake of the 1975 Amitabh Bachchan starrer was a bilingual release. Charan as police commissioner ACP Vijay Khanna is on a mission to bust the oil mafias in the city.
>Orange (2010): The romantic drama had Genelia D’Souza opposite Charan. The film shows how both the characters believe in love but have completely polarized takes on the idea of falling in love.
>Dhruva (2016): Charan’s Dhruva is an honest IPS officer who is on a pursuit to take down the kingpin of a huge crime group.
>Yevadu (2014): Loosely based on John Woo’s Face-Off, Yevadu had Charan and Allu Arjun in the main leads. The film saw Charan flex his muscles and also give a glimpse of his social consciousness.
>Magadheera (2009): The then highest-grosser Telugu film was a riveting tale comprising reincarnation, time travel and dirt-bike racing. Charan and leading lady Kajal Aggarwal’s characters have connections from previous life.
>Rangasthalam (2018): Chelluboina Chittibabu played by Charan is a hard of hearing cheerful man who takes on a political adversary to protect his brother. The film’s plot as well as performances were well received.
