Director Puri Jagannadh said there is loads and loads of energy in Ram and probably he is waiting for a hyper role like 'iSmart Shankar.'
Compliment Ram further Puri said, "I was looking to work with Ram since long. Even media reported some time about our combination. One day we both met and he said he is bored of doing good boy roles and asked to make him bad boy. That moment I did not have any story for him and after couple of days, I penned this 'iSmart Shankar' script."
Giving the credit to Ram for the styling, Puri said, "One day I noticed his new hair style. I liked it and asked him to continue for the title role. Costumes were also his choice. I did nothing and Ram has double the energy."
About 'iSmart Shankar' plot, Puri said we take many inspirations from Hollywood film, so idea too came from there and about the Telangana slang in the film, Puri added, that did not happen something deliberately. As hero is a Hyderabadi, the language should sound authentic and so they used Hyderabadi diction.
"Both heroines Nabha and Nidhhi did a terrific job. Nabha will be seen in a complete mass avatar while Nidhhi's role is soft," stated Puri about the heroines.
