Amidst speculation surrounding Ram Pothineni's remuneration for the upcoming film 'Double iSmart,' sources suggest a noteworthy figure of Rs 25 crores. Despite past films like 'The Warrior' and 'Skanda' not achieving box office dominance, the actor is capitalizing on the success of the earlier blockbuster 'iSmart Shankar,' considering the sequel's potential to recreate that magic with director Puri Jagannath.
Acknowledging the unpredictability of hits and flops in an actor's career, the source emphasizes that Ram's talent and popularity are integral, influencing his remuneration.
As 'Double iSmart' is a sequel, director Puri Jagannath, determined to meet high expectations, is investing not only in hefty paychecks for actors but also in substantial production values to craft a lavish and captivating action saga.
Having previously collaborated with Puri Jagannath for 'iSmart Shankar,' where Ram showcased stylized mannerisms and a unique Telangana dialect, the actor is expected to intensify his performance in the sequel, exuding even more fierceness, attitude, and swag to enthrall his fanbase once again. As the film carries the weight of past success, the anticipation is high for 'Double iSmart' to make a significant impact in the realm of action-packed sequels.
