It’s a casting coup Telugu film lovers have been waiting for.

Telugu star Ram Charan shares screen space with his iconic father Chiranjeevi for the first time in Shrinu Vaitla's upcoming film Bruce Lee The Fighter, for which they shot earlier this week.

According to reports, Vaitla was very keen to have Ram Charan’s superstar father on board.

Confirming the news, Ram Charan said, “Dad is doing a cameo in Bruce Lee The Fighter. I am in the middle of the shooting with him right now.”

According to a reliable source, “For the first time in his career, Ram Charan was nervous as he was shooting with his father.

“Chiranjeevi Sir had to put him at ease. He helped Ram Charan relax and forget their real life equation once the camera was on. It went really well.”

For those who are curious, Chiranjeevi doesn’t play Ram Charan's father in the film.
