Director Harish Shankar had previously announced his collaboration with Ram Pothineni during the promotional events for his film Mr. Bachchan. Shankar’s project and Puri Jagannath’s Double iSmart, starring Ram Pothineni, were both released simultaneously. Although there was a conflict, Shankar remained optimistic about the success of both films and teased his next collaboration with Pothineni.
Yet, new updates indicate that the movie involving Harish Shankar is presently delayed. Reports suggest that Shankar’s film Mr. Bachchan was not successful commercially and likewise, Double iSmart did not do well in terms of box office performance. Therefore, Ram Pothineni has chosen to postpone his partnership with Shankar.
According to reports, Ram Pothineni has decided to collaborate with a fresh director who has just experienced major accomplishments. This director, who had success and won awards with their last film, presented a story to Ram, who was impressed and gave the project the green light.
Ram Pothineni seems to have chosen to change directors because of Shankar’s recent underwhelming movies and the continuing negative media coverage around the director. Therefore, Ram has chosen to proceed with the new director. A formal declaration about this upcoming partnership is anticipated to be announced shortly.
