dad happy for me, ram

As he readies for his B'wood debut, 'Zanjeer' actor Ram Charan says being superstar Chiranjeevi's son does come with a fair amount of pressure. "Dad made his Bollywood debut at 40, I am doing it much earlier. My family was quite shocked when I told them I'm doing 'Zanjeer'. Now, dad is happy for me," said Ram.

The pressure, with his B-town debut, was two-fold. Ram was stepping into Amitabh Bachchan's iconic shoes as well as trying to fulfill the expectations his father's many fans had of him. "I don't think I can ever match up to my dad or Amitji," he said. "Since childhood, I have witnessed how much fans love my dad so I have the responsibility of doing a good job. His fans would tell me, even as a child, that you will be like your dad. I think they meant " you better not mess around!"
