The intern, trained as a data analyst under RPPL's free five-weekend motorsport internship, was seen in a garage scene in the film. RPPL founder Akhilesh Reddy said the internship is part of the Indian Racing League's broader effort to build a talent pipeline in motorsport. 'We are not just supporting drivers but also engineers and mechanics. In the last three years, 18 students from the programme have been placed with international teams,' Reddy said.
According to RPPL, one intern is currently with the Ferrari Academy, another with Williams F1, and four are working with MP Motorsport in Formula 2.
The internship — offered free to engineering students — provides hands-on training on race cars over five weekends. 'This kind of exposure would cost £3,000 for two weekends in the UK. We're offering it for free,' Reddy said.
RPPL made the announcement at the Indian Racing Festival 2025 driver draft in Mumbai, where team line-ups for the upcoming season of the Indian Racing League were also revealed.

IPL 2026: Nitish Kumar Reddy Breaks Silence On His Future With Sunrisers Hyderabad Amid Trade Rumours

India all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy has broken silence on his future with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) amid the trade rumours. According to a report from India Today, Nitish had expressed his desire to leave SRH over his role in the team, especially after being pushed down the batting order. However, the 22-year-old all-rounder on Sunday took to social media to issue clarification, saying that he will always stand by his current IPL team. "I tend to stay away from the noise, but some things deserve clarity. My connection with SRH is built on trust, respect, and years of shared passion. I'll always stand by this team," wrote Reddy on his 'X' account. Ahead of IPL 2025 mega auction, Visakhapatnam-based Reddy was retained by SRH at Rs six crore. It came after Reddy amassed 303 runs in 13 matches and also took three wickets in IPL 2024, which paved his way for selection into India T20I and Test teams. But Reddy failed to repeat his heroics in IPL 2025 - scoring only 182 runs in 13 games and didn't bowl a lot of overs due to his recovery from a side strain which kept him out of action after the first T20I against England earlier this year.
