The trailer launch event of ‘Double Ismart’ took place on Sunday at Vishakapatnam. Much like every event, we see the AV playing out for the hero, director, producer and others in this trailer launch too. But there is one particular aspect that grabbed the attention of everyone. Dashing director Puri Jagannadh’s AV was played and it was 4 minutes long.
But Mass Maharaj Ravi Teja was nowhere seen in that video. As we know, Ravi Teja and Puri Jagannadh share a very strong bond. They made ‘Itlu Sravani Subramanyam’, ‘Idiot’, ‘Amma Nanna O Tamil Ammayi’, ‘Neninthe’ and ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ together. Puri worked with Ravi Teja the most and their ‘Idiot’ was iconic in many aspects. It cemented both their places in the film industry. Fans are waiting to see their combination working together again since the last decade.
But no clips of Ravi Teja being played in Puri’s AV shocked everyone. It is well-known that Puri’s ‘Double Ismart’ and Ravi Teja’s ‘Mr Bachchan’ are releasing on the same day. While Puri’s team announced their arrival first, ‘Mr Bachchan’ director Harish Shankar said that they had to release their film on 15th August as the distributor pressured them. ‘Double Ismart’ producer Charmme unfollowed Harish Shankar on social media too.
But the absence of Ravi Teja in the AV of Puri Jagannadh has disappointed not just Ravi Teja’s fans but the general movie lovers too. Though none of them are talking openly about it, many are predicting a cold war between both parties. Everyone is hoping that there is going to be a smooth release and both films succeed at the box office without any issues. Let us see what happens.
