RRR star Ram Charan and wife Upasana are expecting their first child together. Telugu superstar and Ram Charan's father Chiranjeevi took to social media to share the news.

“With the blessings of Shri Hanuman Ji, we are delighted to share that Upasana & Ram Charan are expecting their first child. With love & gratitude Surekha & Chiranjeevi Konideli, Shobana & Anil Kamineni,” Chiranjeevi tweeted.

Ram Charan also shared the pregnancy announcement, along with a photograph of Lord Hanuman. The couple tied the knot in Hyderabad in 2012.

Ram Charan was last seen in S.S. Rajamouli's magnum opus RRR that is still creating waves among the international audience. RRR, which released earlier this year, went on to break box office records and is now eyeing an Oscar run. The film bagged the award for the best international film at the Saturn Awards in October.

RRR, starring Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead, and dubbed in Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada, had rave reviews in India and the West. The movie chronicles a pre-Independence story woven around two Indian revolutionaries in the 1920s—Alluri Sitarama Raju and Komaram Bheem. Bollywood actors Alia Bhatt and Ajay Devgn also play major roles in the movie. The team kicked off their Oscar campaign and director Rajamouli is in the US promoting his film.

RRR, one of the most successful Indian films of 2022, minted over Rs 1,200 crore at the box office worldwide.
