Ram Pothineni is currently gearing up for the release of his next film, Double iSmart, directed by Puri Jagannath, set to hit theaters on August 15th. The actor has already signed on for another project directed by Mahesh Babu P. This upcoming film has stirred excitement due to rumors that Superstar Rajinikanth was approached for a crucial cameo role.

The film's plot is said to mirror the storyline of the Telugu film Kathanayakudu (originally released as Kuselan), which featured Rajinikanth and Jagapathi Babu. The story revolved around a barber's struggles to reconnect with his childhood friend, a superstar played by Rajinikanth. In Ram Pothineni's untitled film, the narrative is focused on a young man's journey from his village to the city to meet his favorite actor, with his struggles forming the core of the story.

Despite initial reports of Rajinikanth's involvement, it appears that the superstar has declined the offer. Shiva Raj Kumar is now being considered for the pivotal role, with negotiations still ongoing. The film, produced by Mythri Movie Makers, continues to attract interest as fans eagerly await more details about this new project.
