Anthuleni Katha Daily Serial – E163 – 21st Aug

High Expectations: There’s a lot of excitement for Double Ismart following the success of the first movie, Ismart Shankar.
Filming Halt: The shooting was briefly paused due to logistical issues and unresolved financial problems faced by the filmmakers.
Ram’s Sacrifice: Contrary to rumors, Ram actually showed dedication to the project. He initially signed with a standard advance payment but later agreed to work based on profit-sharing to help the financially struggling production and the overall decline in the Tollywood market.
Reason for Delay: Despite Ram’s flexibility, financial issues persist, causing the delay.
Filming Status: Most of the filming is done, with only minor portions remaining.
Future Outlook: Once the financial issues are resolved and filming is complete, the sequel’s buzz is expected to pick up again, capitalizing on its connection to the successful first movie and generating interest within the Telugu film industry (internal market).
