Sources close to the production have confirmed that this song marks Ram's official entry into songwriting. Shot in picturesque international locations, the track is said to offer a mix of heartfelt lyrics, captivating visuals, and Anirudh's soulful vocals. The song has been composed by the acclaimed musical duo Vivek–Mervin, whose collaboration with Ram promises a fresh musical experience.
Directed by Mahesh Babu P, Andhra King Taluka is currently in its final leg of shooting in Hyderabad. The team began its concluding month-long schedule last Saturday, starting with a 10-day night shoot for romantic scenes featuring Ram and leading lady Bhagyashree Borse. Day sequences, including the film's climax, will follow soon after.
The film is a biopic of a passionate fan named Sagar, portrayed by Ram. Actress Bhagyashree Borse plays the female lead, while Kannada superstar Upendra will appear in a key role as fictional film icon Surya Kumar.
With cinematography by Siddhartha Nuni and editing by National Award winner Sreekar Prasad, Andhra King Taluka is backed by a strong technical crew. The cast also includes Rao Ramesh, Murali Sharma, Satya, Rahul Ramakrishna, and V.T.V. Ganesh. A teaser released earlier set the tone for a commercial yet emotionally rich film, promising a treat for both fans and moviegoers.

Forget Amaya and Bryan, Nic and Olandria steal hearts as Love Island USA Season 7's best couple as Disneyland date goes viral
Love Island USA Season 7 may have ended with Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales taking the win, but it's first runners-up Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen who are capturing hearts all over again. Their connection, which grew quietly but steadily throughout the season, has become a post-show favourite, and for good reason. While their bond was questioned by many initially, their slow-burn romance slowly managed to win fans over. Now, a recent Disneyland date has only added to the excitement, and their love story is just getting started. Are Nic and Olandria from Love Island USA Season 7 still together? Just days after the finale aired, Nic and Olandria confirmed what fans were hoping for—they're still together and thriving. Olandria recently went live on TikTok, joined by Nic, where the two shared updates and showed just how in sync they are as they grow together outside the villa. Also spotted in the live was Huda Mustafa, which caught fans' attention since Nic had voted twice to dump her from the island, but clearly, any past tension is long gone, and their friendship has come a long way. While some reality TV couples fade once the cameras stop rolling, Nic and Olandria are doing the opposite. Nic and Olandria's Disneyland date goes viral on social media On Tuesday evening, Nic and Olandria were spotted at Disneyland, and social media went into full meltdown. Photos and videos of the couple strolling through the park, chatting with fans, and just having some downtime quickly took over X (formerly Twitter). What stood out most was how effortless the outing felt. Olandria kept things comfy in a grey lounge set, while Nic wore a white tank and colourful pyjama pants, clearly unfazed by their growing celebrity status. Fans praised the low-key vibe and how natural they looked together, calling them one of the most 'authentic' couples to come out of the franchise. nic grinning over someone taking a pic with OLANDRIA not even himself im crying Olandria's 2020 Disney World tweet has fans emotional I want to go on a baecation to Disney World lol I'm such a kid 🥺😂 As if the date itself wasn't adorable enough, fans also resurfaced an old tweet from Olandria that's now going viral. Back in 2020, she wrote, 'I want to go on a baecation to Disney World lol. I'm such a kid.' Fast-forward four years, and she's living out that exact wish with a boyfriend by her side and cameras catching every candid moment. The internet couldn't help but swoon over how things came full circle, turning a casual dream into real-life romance. Nic and Olandria's Love Island romance Nic and Olandria's connection in the villa unfolded naturally. What started as a solid friendship slowly grew into one of the sweetest love stories of the season. Nic was originally coupled up with Belle-A Walker, then formed a strong bond with bombshell Cierra Ortega. Meanwhile, Olandria stayed consistently coupled with Taylor from the start. But after Cierra's departure, everything shifted. During the next recoupling, Nic and Olandria gave things a real shot, and it clicked. Their bond grew through shared laughs, late-night convos, and little moments during challenges that said more than words ever could. While other couples made headlines for chaos and shake-ups, Nic and Olandria became one of the season's most beloved pairs.
