A new combination

Ram Pothineni-starrer iSmart Shankar, directed by Puri Jagannath was launched in a low-key manner on Wednesday by Charmme, one of the producers of the film along with Sravanthi Ravi Kishore, the actor’s uncle. The makers are planning for a summer release. “They all decided not to have big fanfare for the launch as they wanted to focus on the film’s success and the end result,” says a source from the unit, adding that the actor-director combination is an interesting one.
