Hyderabad, India – Telugu actor Ram Pothineni, known for his charismatic screen presence and dance skills, has been a popular figure in the industry for several years. While his family entertainers and romantic comedies have garnered significant appreciation from audiences, his aspiration to establish himself as a mass action hero has led to a series of challenges.
Despite initial setbacks with his action-oriented films, Ram’s breakthrough with Ismart Shankar fueled his ambition to pursue this genre further. However, subsequent films like RED, The Warriorr, Skanda, and Double Ismart failed to meet expectations, prompting a reassessment of his career trajectory.
With the recent box office failures, Ram has reportedly decided to revisit his roots and explore romantic comedies once again. In a strategic move, he is also reportedly reducing his remuneration for upcoming projects. According to sources, Ram is even considering working on films without receiving any payment, instead opting to secure the theatrical rights for specific regions.
Mythri Movie Makers, a prominent production house, has reportedly offered Ram a film to be directed by Mahesh, the director of the successful Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty. The negotiations are ongoing, but it appears that Ram is keen on acquiring the theatrical rights for Nizam and Vizag areas as part of his remuneration package.
This shift in strategy marks a significant departure from Ram’s previous pursuit of mass action roles. It reflects a willingness to adapt to changing audience preferences and explore different avenues for success. As Ram embarks on this new phase of his career, fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the romantic comedy genre and hoping for a resurgence of his popularity.
