Ram pinned a lot of hopes on his new film Andhra King Taluka, directed by Mahesh Babu P, who last made Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty with Anushka Shetty and Naveen Polishetty. Naturally, expectations were sky-high for the film, but unfortunately, it ended up as a disaster at the box office.

Apart from this, he also had issues with the second half of the script and wanted more discussions with the makers. As the talks did not bring any clarity, Ram has decided to back out of the project.
The source also added that the makers are still trying to rope Ram back into the project and want him to headline the action drama, which was planned on a very interesting note with mostly new age actors in key roles.
