Tollywood superstar Ram Charan will be honoured with the Indian Ambassador of Arts and Culture at the 15th edition of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM). He will become the first Indian to receive this prestigious honour. IFFM is the official film festival organised annually by the Victorian state government and will run from August 15-24 this year.

Ram Charan’s film ‘RRR’ not only broke box office records but also made India very proud by winning an Oscar for the Best Original Song ‘Natu Natu’. This, along with his many other achievements, highlights Ram Charan’s significant impact on Indian cinema and his widespread global recognition.

The film festival in honour of Charan will also feature a retrospective of his iconic films, celebrating his remarkable journey in the film industry.

Expressing his excitement about attending the festival, Ram Charan said, “I am extremely honoured to be a part of the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, which celebrates the diversity and richness of Indian cinema on an international platform. It is a privilege to represent our film industry and connect with fans and cinephiles from across the world.”

He further added, “The success of ‘RRR’ and the love it has received across the world is overwhelming, and I am thrilled to share this moment with the audience in Melbourne. I am looking forward to this great opportunity to hoist our national flag here in Melbourne.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Ram Charan is gearing up for the release of his next film ‘Game Changer’. The political thriller directed by Shankar also stars Kiara Advani in the lead role. The makers are yet to announce the release date of the film.
