Savitramma Gari Abbayi Daily Serial – E646- 28th Aug

Ram Pothineni, a prominent figure in Telugu cinema, currently finds himself at a critical juncture in his career. Having delivered three consecutive box-office disappointments with “Red,” “The Warriorr,” and “Skanda,” Pothineni is ardently seeking a revival. His upcoming project, “Double Ismart,” a sequel to the highly successful “Ismart Shankar” directed by Puri Jagannadh, has ignited anticipation amongst fans. However, this optimism is entwined with murmurs of a potential collaboration with director Parusurama, casting a shadow of uncertainty.

Parusurama’s most recent directorial venture, “Family Star,” featuring Vijay Deverakonda and Mrunal Thakur, met with a lackluster commercial response, causing apprehension amongst Pothineni’s fan base. Reports suggest that despite these reservations, Pothineni has greenlit the project with Parusurama. The genre of this film and its potential influence on Pothineni’s career trajectory have become a topic of fervent discussion on social media platforms.

While Puri Jagannadh has collaborated successfully with Pothineni in the past, his recent directorial choices have yielded films that have underperformed critically and commercially. This raises a pertinent question: will “Double Ismart” serve as the triumphant comeback vehicle Pothineni craves? The addition of the Parusurama collaboration, shrouded in the afterglow of his latest flop, merely intensifies the surrounding ambiguity.

Pothineni’s ardent supporters are understandably engrossed in speculation. Will these upcoming projects propel him back to the pinnacle of success, or will he face a challenging uphill battle? Only time will reveal if Pothineni can recapture his box-office mojo and deliver a resounding commercial triumph.
