English pop sensation Ed Sheeran captivated music enthusiasts in Hyderabad during a unique live concert performed this evening at Ramoji Film City. Prior to the exciting concert, Ed Sheeran decided to explore some of Hyderabad's historic heritage sites. This concert marked the second performance between Ed Sheeran and Armaan Malik, following their previous gig together in Mumbai in 2022. The event featured a set by renowned Bollywood playback singer Armaan Malik, who performed as the opening act. In a charming twist, Armaan Malik acted as tour guide for the internationally acclaimed singer, songwriter, and composer. The two artists had previously collaborated on a unique Indian remix of Ed Sheeran's popular track, "2Step." During the concert, Ed and Armaan even highlighted their dance skills by performing a lively rendition of "Butta Bomma." Images from their tour in Hyderabad suggest that both musicians thoroughly had a great time reuniting in the renowned City of Pearls. Together, they visited notable landmarks including the Falaknuma Palace and the Charminar on Sunday afternoon. He noted that many contemporary Hollywood films have incorporated negative film stocks, citing Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer as a notable example of this trend. In a recent interview, he revealed an intriguing insight into the filming techniques being employed for RC 16. Currently, the actor is filming the movie in Hyderabad, where Janhvi Kapoor plays his love interest. Nolan's commitment to analog techniques has motivated Ratnavelu to adopt a similar strategy by incorporating negative film stock in certain segments of RC 16. Unlike digital filming, shooting with negative film does not allow for multiple takes, as it risks depleting the limited film stock. Tollywood Box Office actor Ram Charan’s upcoming film, RC 16, is helmed by Buchi Babu Sana. The impact of this experimental approach on the overall production of RC 16 will be eagerly followed. The film is a sports drama set in a rural backdrop and also stars Jagapathi Babu, Shiva Rajkumar, Divyendu Sharma, among others in key roles. Nevertheless, his endeavor, similar to Nolan's work, has garnered accolades from the Eastman Kodak Company. The cinematography for this project is being handled by renowned cinematographer Ratnavelu ISC. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting project. This exciting development is sure to interest cinema aficionados who value analog cinema. Produced by Vriddhi Cinemas in collaboration with Sukumar Writings, and presented by Mythri Movie Makers, RC 16 features music composed by AR Rahman. However, Ratnavelu is mindful of the inherent difficulties posed by this technique. Senior actor Venkatesh is riding high on success following the blockbuster run of his latest film, *Sankranthiki Vasthunnam*, which has raked in over ₹300 crore, marking it as one of the highest-grossing hits in the Telugu film industry.
