Ram Charan poses with ICC World Cup 2023 Trophy in Melbourne; cricket fans say, 'Bhai lekar aaja'

Ram Charan is now in Melbourne for the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. The event is an annual one attended by top Indian actors across Bollywood and South Indian cinema. This time, Ram Charan is the top guest at the event. The RRR star has emerged as a global actor with his fan following expanding in nations like Japan. He was honoured with the coveted title of Ambassador of Indian Arts and Culture by the Victorian government. The annual IFFM awards were held at the Palais Theatre. He also hoisted the Indian tricolor at the Federation Square as Indians gathered to see their favourite star. 

As he hoisted the Indian flag, he said, “It’s such a proud moment for us all Indians to be here, hoisting the Indian flag in Australia. I have such fond memories of being here in Australia, having shot for a movie 12 years back in Melbourne and Sydney.” 

Ram Charan also expressed his happiness on seeing the huge Indian community in Melbourne, Australia. He further said, “Back in the day, there weren’t so many Indians, and to see so many Indians here today truly makes me so proud. We are truly going global, and international platforms are recognizing our culture and cinema. Now, I feel the future is all about the young people gathered here, and that excites me to see the future’s so bright”.

 The actor also held the ICC World Cup 2023 Trophy which was played between India and Australia in 2023 November. We could see a sad look on his face. No Indian cricket fan will forget the night when we lost the World Cup. Seeing him with the trophy made netizens remember that evening when the nation was plunged in collective grief. A netizen commented, “Please don’t post about 2023 world cup,” while someone else wrote, “Yeh wala dukh to zindagi bhar rahega.”
