Ram Pothineni is the star who has given success to Puri Jagannath in the name of iSmart Shankar. Boyapati is riding on the success of Akhanda and wanted to do a movie with Allu Arjun.
But Allu who is riding on the success wave of Pushpa is doing Pushpa two now. Boyapati wanted to do a movie with Balakrishna also in the form of Akhanda two.
But Balakrishna is having four movies in the pipeline. Taking this into account Boyapatiwants to do a movie with Ram in the meantime. He wants to spend around a hundred crores on the movie.
The industry people are sceptical if Boyapati and Ram will be able to recover the money. But Boyapati is hopeful that the Pan India concept will recover the money.
He wants to show that the director is as important as the hero. That is the reason he chose Ram for the movie who is known in the Telugu market very well.
Ram has given the hit called iSmart Shankar. Now he will work with Boyapai the star director.
