While speaking at the 'Film Tourism for Economic and Cultural Preservation' event in Srinagar, Ram Charan said that Kashmir is the “coolest” place to shoot films in India.
Ram Charan further said that he has been coming to Kashmir since 1986 when his father, the legendary actor Chiranjeevi, shot movies in Gulmarg and Sonamarg.
“Because my father has been an actor for 45 years and I am the second generation, I have been visiting Kashmir. Since 1986, I have been coming here. I visited Kashmir for the first time at that time. In Sonamarg and these stunning locations, my dad has done a lot of filming. I used to visit when I was younger. I used to feel like I had accomplished something over the summer break when my dad invited me to Kashmir. It was comparable to success,” the actor said.
