Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh is set to make his Telugu cinema debut in Ram Pothineni's upcoming film 'RAPO23', the makers announced on October 19. Deshmukh has joined the cast in a prominent role, with a behind-the-scenes video showing Pothineni warmly welcoming and embracing him on the sets in Hyderabad.
