Boyapati Sreenu is regarded as the biggest master director in Tollywood as of now. His blockbusters like Bhadra, Tulasi, Simha, Legend, Sarrainodu, Jaya Janaki Nayaka and recent ‘Akhanda’ stand as big examples. He already announced that he is going to director ‘Ustaad’ Ram Pothineni who is synonymous with energy in his next project.
Ram’s project with Boyapati is going to be made on a pan-Indian level with ace producer Srinivasaa Chitturi bankrolling it. The movie is tentatively titled ‘BoyapatiRAPO’ under Srinivasaa Silver Screens banner. Pawan Kumar is presenting this film and it is the 9th film from this prestigious banner. The movie is yet to go on the floors and sources say that Ram is going to be seen in a double role.
Boyapati has reportedly planned to present Ram in a completely new avatar and the storyline is going to be very appealing too. Boyapati is a master in giving commercial hits to heroes and there were reports about the director wanting to bring a Bollywood heroine on board for this project. But it is said that the makers have dropped the idea and are going for fresh faces. If sources have anything to go by, Sakshi Vaidya who romanced Akhil in ‘Agent’ is roped in as the heroine beside Ram this time. There is another heroine role and a fresh face is being considered for it.
Though the makers initially went for heroines like Janhvi Kapoor, Ananya Pandey and Disha Patani, their huge remunerations became a concern. Apparently, most of them were demanding around 4 crores which is quite huge considering there is not much scope for the heroine in Boyapati’s films. The team has now decided to go ahead with new heroines who bring freshness to the movie. Let us wait till the official news comes out.
