For the first time in his acting career, Ram Charan will be playing a dual role in a film to be directed by V. V. Vinayak. 'There are two powerful characters in the movie and Ram Charan will do both of them.' say sources who know.

With Kajal Agarwal and Amala Paul playing the leading ladies, the yet to be titled movie is touted as an action entertainer, at the same time with a strong message to the society. 'Vinayak's making will be much talked about.' add sources.

The 'Magadheera' and 'Chirutha' hero, who is getting ready to tie the knot to his sweetheart Upasana Kamineni next month, recently announced that he wants to be called as Ram Charan and not Ramcharan Teja.

In the meantime, sources have it that apart from the Vinayak-directed film, he has signed one more project too and an announcement on it will be made soon. 'The months ahead are crucial for Ram Charan, on professional and personal fronts.' add sources.
