Ram Pothineni's Andhra King Taluka Celebrates the Beauty of Unconditional Fandom

Summary
- Upcoming film Andhra King Taluka not a dark thriller like Fan
- Explores the "most beautiful relationship" between star and fan
- Film stays grounded in the journey of a true admirer
Ahead of the release of his upcoming film Andhra King Taluka, actor Ram Pothineni has clarified that the movie is not a dark psychological thriller like the 2016 film Fan starring Shah Rukh Khan. Instead, Andhra King Taluka is an emotional exploration of the "most beautiful relationship" between a star and their devoted admirer.
When the film's tagline "biopic of a fan" was first revealed, it sparked comparisons to Fan. However, Ram Pothineni emphasizes that his film takes a different approach, focusing on the pure, unconditional love and devotion of a true fan rather than portraying the fan as a villain or exploring a mere friendship.
Directed by Mahesh Babu Pachigolla, Andhra King Taluka features Ram as a devoted admirer of Kannada star Upendra. Unlike Fan, which presented a dual narrative with the actor playing both the superstar and his fan, this film stays grounded in the personal journey of the admirer and what that devotion means to him.
Andhra King Taluka is scheduled for a theatrical release on November 28, 2025. The film also stars Bhagyashri Borse, Rao Ramesh, Murali Sharma, and Rahul Ramakrishna.
