Ram Pothineni awaits the release of 'Double iSMART' on August 15. The film is directed by Puri Jagannadh and its genre/sensibilities are well-known. It is expected to be a mindless entertainer along the lines of 'iSMART Shankar'. If it becomes a box-office hit, Ram's profile will only be on the rise.
The 'Skanda' actor, after this, is going to team up with two contrasting directors. One director is known for mass entertainers, while the other one is capable of movies meant for the class audience.
Ram will team up with Harish Shankar for a movie to be produced by Krishna Kommalapati of 'Krishnamma' fame. This one will commence its shoot later this year and will head to theatres next year.
Ram is also scheduled to do a film with P Mahesh Babu, the director of 'Miss Shetty & Mr Polishetty' fame. This project will be bankrolled by Mythri Movie Makers' Y Ravi Shankar and Naveen Yerneni. This one will see Ram in a relatively classy role.
All in all, Ram Pothineni is going to try variety with two contrasting filmmakers.
