Ram Charan launches Archery Premier League 2025

Ram Charan has launched the Archery Premier League 2025 in New Delhi. Speaking to media, Ram Charan said, “It’s an iconic sport. It’s part of our history and our culture. It’s a historic event. I am very happy to be the brand ambassador for this. With all your support, we are very sure that we want to make this an iconic league.”

Talking about the league, Ram Charan shared, “There was never an archery league. This is the first time we are having an archery league, and that too in India. We are very happy to be part of and support every archer across the world and every sportsman who is part of archery. Very proud that this is an Indian league, an Indian board that has initiated this. Archers across the world, and especially our Indian archers, will get amazing spotlight on the global platform.” He added, “Archery was part of Ramayan and Mahabharat. We have so much affiliation with archery. I played the role of an archer in my last movie, RRR. So, archery has given all of us so much. I hope the Indian sports lovers encourage and support this iconic support.”

The warriors Randeep Hooda and his wife, actor and former national-level archer Lin Laishram, are the proud co-owners of Prithviraj Yodhas together with visionary leader Dr Vikas Garg. The team is Delhi’s franchise in the inaugural Archery Premier League (APL). The 10-day league will take place from October 2 to 12 at the Yamuna Sports Complex.

For Lin, this is more than just a new venture, it’s a homecoming to the sport that shaped her childhood. Inspired by her father, who served as President of the Archery Association (Manipur) Lin began shooting arrows at the age of 10, competing in her first Sub-Junior Nationals. She later honed her skills at the Tata Archery Academy, winning multiple medals and claiming the Junior National Championship in 1998. Though an injury forced her to step away from competitive archery, her passion for the sport never faded.

Randeep, co-owner, shared his excitement, “Owning a team with Lin is incredibly special. Archery has been a big part of her life and seeing her return to the sport in this way is heart-warming. Together, we want to support these talented athletes and bring archery closer to audiences across India. Leagues help expose young talent to international players and create a larger talent pool to represent India internationally and win more competitions.”

Lin, co-owner of Prithviraj Yodhas, added, “Archery taught me so much, it gave me discipline, patience, and perseverance. Even though I had to leave competitive archery early, my love for the sport never went away. Now, to come back as a team owner and support young archers is a dream come true. I hope we can inspire more people, especially young girls, to pick up the bow and arrow and experience the joy of this sport.”
