Raghu Ram excited for Tamil film with Ajith Kumar

Raghu Ram, known for his role in reality TV shows like Roadies, is gearing up for the release of his new Tamil film, Good, Bad, Ugly, directed by Adhik Ravichandran and starring Ajith Kumar. Raghu previously acted in the Tamil film Doctor, which was well-received but had limited promotion due to the pandemic. This time, he looks forward to experiencing the excitement of a film release in Chennai with his wife, Natalie Di Luccio. Raghu has transitioned from being a TV producer and host to embracing acting seriously. He has worked in various languages, but Tamil cinema has captured his interest the most. He explains how his upbringing in a Telugu household and attending a Tamil school helped him feel connected to Tamil films. One of the main attractions for Raghu in Good, Bad, Ugly was the opportunity to work with Ajith Kumar. He describes his character as very different from his previous role in Doctor. He finds Ajith's laid-back personality refreshing. Initially, addressing Ajith informally raised eyebrows on set, but Ajith welcomed the friendliness. Raghu admired Ajith’s larger-than-life persona and his approach to life, emphasizing the importance of being true to oneself. Working with director Adhik Ravichandran provided Raghu with a unique experience. Adhik's spontaneous style, including finalizing dialogues on the shoot day, posed challenges for Raghu, who is a non-native Tamil speaker. Despite the challenges, Raghu appreciates the fresh energy this method brings to the performances. Raghu’s background as a producer influences his approach to acting. He focuses on understanding characters deeply and empathizing with their motivations. He also shares his journey into screenwriting, inspired by the directors he has collaborated with. As he awaits the release of Good, Bad, Ugly, Raghu is fully embracing his role in storytelling beyond just reality TV.
