Raashii Khanna appears to have accidentally revealed a closely guarded casting detail of Rajinikanth’s Dharman. The actress, who is currently shooting for the film in Mysuru, shared a picture from the sets featuring herself, Rajinikanth and Ram Pothineni. She also mentioned her early morning workout sessions with “Rajini sir and Ram” before deleting the post shortly after.

Ram Pothineni’s name has been linked to Dharman for quite some time. There have been reports that he has been brought on board for an important role, with speculation even suggesting that he could be playing the antagonist opposite Rajinikanth. However, the makers have maintained silence and are yet to officially announce Ram as part of the cast. Raashii’s now-deleted post has therefore added significant weight to the speculation, even though his character and involvement remain officially unconfirmed.

Directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, Dharman marks Rajinikanth’s 173rd film and is produced by Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International. Raashii Khanna, Simran and Rukmini Vasanth are among the confirmed cast members, while Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music. The film is being planned as a Pongal 2027 release.

For Ram, a role alongside Rajinikanth would be another interesting development at a time when he is also moving into a new phase of his career. The actor is preparing to make his directorial debut with RAPO22. Meanwhile, all eyes are now on the Dharman team for an official word on whether Ram is indeed part of the film and, if so, what role he plays.
