For the first time, director Boyapati Srinu and Ram Pothineni are working together. With 'iSmart Shankar,' Ram cemented himself as a mass hero, and he is now collaborating with a filmmaker who is synonymous with mass entertainers.

Imagine the level of mass this combination brings: on one side, the massive director Boyapati Srinu, who has broken box office records with his oora Mass films, and on the other, the full-of-energy energetic star Ram Pothineni. The combination of Boyapati Srini and Ram Pothineni has the potential to be lethal.

Boyapati has begun the casting process for their debut film, which will go into production soon.

According to sources, Rashmika Mandanna has been contacted to play the female lead. For this big-budget entertainer, the production is looking for pan india faces. Rashmika Mandanna's acted 'Pushpa' has gotten attention across the country. She has also agreed to take part in the film. She may soon sign on the dotted line.

Rashmika will begin filming for 'Pushpa 2' in May. Aside from Ram – Boyapati's film, she is also in talks for two major Telugu projects.
