For a good part of this year, Ram Pothineni was twiddling thumbs at home as Double ISMART, his film with Puri Jagannadh, was halted due to financial constraints. The shoot finally resumed early last month, and the film is racing towards the finish line.

We now hear that Ram is thinking about his next assignment and as a part of it has already green-lit a project. While he is also rumoured to be in talks with Harish Shankar, the fact that the latter has to complete Mr. Bachchan (with Ravi Teja) and Ustaad Bhagat Singh (with Pawan Kalyan) means their combination will not see light of day anytime soon. In this regard, our sources tell us exclusively that Ram has agreed to do a film with leading production house Mythri Movie Makers next up and it will be helmed by P Mahesh Babu who turned heads with Anushka and Naveen Polishetty fronted Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty.

“Mahesh committed to do his next after Miss Shetty Mr Polishetty with Mythri and he took ample time to come up with a watertight script that impressed both Mythri and Ram. Like his last year’s release, Mahesh’s flick with Ram will be rich in emotions; it’s an emotional drama. Ram felt that after high voltage actioners like Skanda and Double ISMART, Mahesh’s script was the best bet and agreed to it straight away. As of now, the target is to take the film to floors this September,” chips in a source close to the development.

While more details about this untitled project are awaited, it will, however, be the first time that Ram will be teaming up with both Mythri and Mahesh Babu.
