Cheo took to Twitter on Wednesday to share a number of names as his choices for the next James Bond, which included actors Idris Elba, Sope Dirisu, Matthew Goode, and Damson Idris. As his tweet garnered thousands of reactions within just a few hours – many of them from Ram Charan's fans – Cheo posted another tweet explaining his reasons behind choosing the names.

He wrote, "Damn! That escalated quickly. Everyone knows Idris from, well, everything, but to get inside my thinking, watch Sope in Gangs Of London, Matthew G in The Offer, Damson in Snowfall and Ram in RRR. They all deserve a shot at a Savile Row suit and a Walther PPK."

Replying to Cheo's tweet, Ram Charan's fans hailed the actor as the 'King of Tollywood' and shared his pictures and videos from RRR and other films. Some also created fan-posters of Ram Charan as James Bond.

Gremlins director Joe Dante called the film a 'brutal portrait of the horrors of British colonisation.'
