Popular folk singer Rahul Sipligunj, who recently emerged as the winner of Bigg Boss Telugu 3, is all set to make his acting debut with director Krishna Vamsi's upcoming movie Rangamarthanda.
Rangamarthanda, an emotional family drama, is the official remake of Marathi film Natsamrat, which depicts the tragic life of a stage actor who has retired from acting but is unable to forget his fond memories of theatre.
