From the last few days, it is being rumored in media that Rowdy Hero Vijay Deverakonda is planning to make a film with dashing director Puri Jagannath. Finally, Puri’s business partner and co-founder of PC Connects, Charmme, made the news official and announced their new film with Vijay.
Puri And Vijay Movie
Charmme also posted a picture of Vijay, Puri and herself. This new film will be presented by Puri’s wife Lavanya and it will be bankrolled jointly by Puri and Charmme under the banners Puri Jagannath Touring Talkies and PC Connects. Apparently, this will not be a sequel to iSmart Shankar as it is being rumored in media.
It seems that Puri is penning a fresh script for Vijay and on top of that, the actor will be seen in a stammering character in the film. More details about the rest of the cast and crew and the launch of the film will be announced soon.

Even after the two weeks of its release, iSmart Shankar is still continuing its dream run at the box office. The team is enjoying the success daily by attending the interviews on going for success-tours. One man who was missed all these days in these celebrations was hero Ram himself.
Ram Joined iSmart Celebrations
Ram went on a pre-planned vacation a few days before the release of iSmart Shankar. That is the reason why he was not able to be a part of these celebrations until now. Finally, Ram is back home and as soon as he reached Hyderbad, he left to Puri’s cave and celebrated the success with the team.
One of the film’s producers, Charmme tweeted, “Ustaaaad @ramsayz brings energy in #iSmartShankar celebrations. Feeling the real ISMART BLOCKBUSTER feel now.” Director Puri Jagannath, heroine Nidhi Agerwal, Bhakarabhatla, Uttej and a few others were present at this party.

Young hero Ram Pothineni scored a massive hit with his new movie iSmart Shankar. A couple of days before the release itself, Ram left for a vacation and was unavailable for the promotions. The film released and became a huge blockbuster. The heroines, director Puri, and the other cast are celebrating the success but Ram’s presence is badly missing. The fans are also feeling the same. Finally, Ram decided to return Hyderabad and join the film unit to celebrate the movie’s success. Ram will be in Hyderabad in the next two days.
Ram Returning from Holiday

Even after a week of its release, iSmart Shankar is continuing its glorious run at the box office. This blockbuster has brought back director Puri Jagannath and Hero Ram back in form, in style. Currently, the team is holding a successful tour throughout the Telugu states.
Chiru to Watch iSmart Shankar
Meanwhile, we hear that Megastar Chiranjeevi is showing interest to watch this film soon. Apparently, a special screening will be hosted for Chiru tonight or tomorrow. Director Puri Jagannath and producer Charmme are expected to join Chiru during the screening.
It is a big achievement for Puri and Co. as Chiru himself showed interest in watching the film. Let’s see if this screening brews up the topic of Chiru’s project with Puri. The duo was supposed to work on a film called ‘Auto Jaani’ but it was shelved as Chiru wasn’t satisfied with the script.

Energetic Star Ram and dashing director Puri Jagannath are showing their power at the box office as their recent flick, iSmart Shankar is on a rampage at all the centers. Within four days of its release, the film collected a share of Rs. 23.6 crore and is expected to do well in the coming days as well.
Ram on Cloud 9
The lack of proper commercial entertainer has helped iSmart to satisfy the craving of the mass audience and the result is blockbuster. If the latest grapevine is anything to go by, Ram is planning to throw a lavish party soon to the media fraternity in a posh pub located in Jubilee Hills.
The actor is on cloud nine with the success of the film as it became the biggest hit of his career. Ram’s earlier big hit was Nenu Sailaja. iSmart Shankar had Nabha Natesh and Nidhi Agerwal as the female leads. Mani Sharma has composed the music for the film
The result of the previous movie decides the fate of a director or hero in the film industry. If it is hit or super successful, producers buzz around him/her and if it is a flop, everyone disappears. At the end of the day, it is the huge amounts of money and effort invested in a movie and it is not wrong to be on the safe side regarding the investments of their hard-earned money in the films. Puri Jagannadh is one of the most commercial and successful directors who made films with almost every star and is now in a lean phase with the series of flops in his filmography. He is coming with Ram Pothineni with a character in which Puri Jagannadh is well versed in etching out. The film is called “iSmart Shankar” and there is a huge buzz around the movie because of the promos and the characterization of Ram. Let’s see how it works on us as it is releasing into theatres today.
Story
iSmart Shankar (Ram) is a bad guy who is well famed in the rowdyism. He goes on to kill an ex-minister with the contract given by Kaka, his mentor-like figure. After killing him, he disappears to Goa on vacation with his girlfriend Chandini (Nabha Natesh). She gets killed in the vacation and Shankar gets arrested. He escapes from prison after a year and decides to avenge the death of Chandini. He gets to meet Arun, a CBI officer in this journey and their lives get mixed up. How Arun comes into his life? Who killed Chandini? How Shankar avenged the death of Chandini?
iSmart Shankar Telugu Movie Review
Cast and Performance
Ram Pothineni has done a terrific job in the role of iSmart Shankar. His energy, effort, and body language worked out very well for the role and this pleases the audience to a greater extent. Nabha Natesh is good in her limited role but the body language seems odd for her maybe because of the styling. Nidhi Aggarwal is nice as Sarah. She looks gorgeous in the songs. Ashish Vidyarthi has done a good job. Shayaji Shinde is good. Getup Seenu is fine. Satya plays a crucial role which works well. All other actors have done a good job in their roles.
Writing Department
The story of iSmart Shankar is good and the screenplay is written in a way to entertain the commercial audience. The dialogues are good.
Technical Departments
Manisharma has teamed up with Puri Jagannadh after CMGR and has composed good songs for this film. The background score he composed works for the film very well. The cinematography by Raj Thota is okay. The consistency in the color palette is missing. The editing of the film is fine. The action sequences and stunts are composed well. The production values are grand.
Highlights
Ram Pothineni as iSmart Shankar
Characterization of Shankar
Music by Manisharma
Minus
Pure commercial stuff
Verdict
iSmart Shankar is a story of a bad guy and a good guy with the same target. This film is a do or die film for Puri Jagannadh and with Ram as a hero, he made a solid commercial potboiler with an eccentric characterization. The characterization of Ram worked very well and got a huge reaction from the audience in the theatre. The first half of the film sets the premise and the second half reveals the missing links of the first half. This film is a pure One man show from Ram. Puri Jagannadh wrote pure commercial stuff for this film which may act as a minus for family audience. To sum up, iSmart Shankar is a relief for Puri Jagannadh from his lean phase of flop films and a watchable entertainer.

Hero Ram and director Puri Jagannath are happy that their film iSmart Shankar is finally in the theatres. This is the first film in the combination of both Ram and Puri. Until a few days back, there was a minimal buzz on the film but everything changed in the last 4-5days.
ISmart Shankar
All the shows of the first day got full in many areas in both the Telugu states. Especially, the B and C center audience are pretty much excited about the film after watching the trailers. The trade pundits are predicting that this might well become the highest opener in Ram’s career.
As expected, the movie too opened to positive reviews from one and all. Ram’s last film Hello Guru Prema Kosame collected Rs. 3.75 crores on its opening day and it is his best in the domestic market till date. On the worldwide front, Nenu Sailaja remains as his career-best. Now, it is being assumed that iSmart Shankar might break both the record and become highest opening day grosser in Ram’s career.

Recently, the makers have organized a grand pre-release event of the film as ‘iSmart Bonalu’ as it took place during Bonalu festival. Both the heroines Nidhhi and Nabha have placed Bonalu on their heads and offered to Goddess Mahankali during Ashada Masam. We can say that this is the first time heroines doing these as a part of their movie promotions. Also, ‘iSmart Shankar’ movie runs with Telangana backdrop.

The movie is gearing up for a grand release on July 18th. Puri and Charmme under Puri Jagannadh Touring Talkies and Puri Connects banner are bankrolling this project.
‘Oh Baby’ is the new Telugu movie in Tollywood that is creating a sensation at the box-office. The movie released yesterday worldwide and a lot of people are pouring in appreciations for the film now. Among a lot of film personalities, Charmee Kaur is also one who was in awe with Sam’s performance in the movie.

The actress did not hesitate to appreciate the movie and the efforts put up by the movie unit. Charmee took to Twitter and posted, “Ye time lo puttaavu Amma nuvvuu? @Samanthaprabhu2 Nee hard work , nee decisions and nee jatakam ki namaskaaram. #samrocks #OhBabyRocks Very happy for @nandureddy4u n complete team too.”
Directed by Nandini Reddy, the film Oh Baby is produced jointly by Suresh Babu, Sunitha Tati, TG Vishwa Prasad and a Korean producer.
After the flick Jyothi Lakshmi, actress Charmi has turned as a partner in Puri’s businesses. Her new role is helping Puri for his next.
Charmi help for Puri
Charmi has gained experience as Production Manager for her début production flick Jyothi Lakshmi. She then turned as Publicity agent cum partner in Puri Connections, a talent hunting and promoting agency for young heroines and actors. As her heroine career is almost got veined, she is concentrating on filmmaking side. She is now turned as a Publicity agent for Puri’s Kannada, flick Rogue. This flick is almost completed and ready for release. Charmi has been making this film hitting headlines every day. She is the reason behind the heroines photoshoots releasing every day.
This film Rogue is produced by noted Kannada producer CR Kumar who is launching his brother Ishaan as a hero. Along with Ishaan, this movie is crucial to director Puri who has been suffering from flops. This movie will be in the lines of super hit Idiot starring Ravi Teja.
Beautiful actress Charmee has recently surprised her fans and friends with her short hair. People, who thought that she cut hair just for a change or to look stylish, got surprised after learning the real reason.
Charmi Hair Cut
Generally, celebs meet their ailing fans to give them momentary happiness, but Charmee went a step ahead. Recently, Charmee met two of her fans, who were, unfortunately, cancer patients. She cut her hair by as much as 18 inches so that her hair can be used as wigs for the ailing duo. Charmee’s act is receiving praise from fans and film fraternity.
On the work front, after tasting a disastrous result with her re-launch pad ‘Jyothi Lakshmi’, which she co-produced, Charmee is maintaining a low profile. Her personal life with director Puri Jagannath is also in turmoil owing to the myriad rumors surrounding about their affair.
Hot actress Charmee Kaur is once again getting ready to produce another film in Tollywood.
Beautiful actress Charmee Kaur worked as the producer for her last film ‘Jyothi Lakshmi’, directed by Puri Jagannath. Despite the film bombed at the box office, it did not hamper the relation between the actress and the director.
Now, it is heard that Puri has once again prepared a story for Charmee and senior actress Revathi will direct it. Revathy is currently acting in Varun Tej’s Loafer under Puri Jaganandh direction. She is playing the mother role to Varun Tej in the movie.
Apart from the story, Puri will also pen the dialogues. This film is likely to be produced by Charmee itself as the actress got good profits with ‘Jyothi Lakshmi’ despite distributors burned their fingers. More details of this film will be announced soon.
It has to be seen whether it will be a commercial entertainer or a bold film like ‘Jyothi Lakshmi’.
Charming beauty Charmy, Reshma, Raghu Babu, Posani Krishna Murali and Krishna Bhagawan starring Prathighatana movie exclusive theatrical trailer. The movie is being directed by Thammareddy Bhardwaj. MM Keeravani scored the music.
