Venu Sriram’s ICON has been the talk of the town for over a year. The film was heavily publicized by Allu Arjun who even adopted the ‘ICON Star’ title for himself. He was also was seen wearing the cap with Icon written on it on several occasions. But after ‘Pushpa’ Bunny has walked out of the project leaving Venu Sriram in a dilemma.
As per reports, the ‘Vakeel Saab’ director has now finalized ‘Energetic Star’ Ram for this project. Ram is currently planning an image makeover and wants a mass commercial hero tag. This is why he is working on a faction-based action entertainer with Lingusamy at the moment.
Kirthi Shetty, who made an impressive debut with Uppena will be paired opposite Ram in this film which will be made on a grand scale and lavish budget. Srinivasa Chitturi will be producing this film. While Lingusamy hasn’t directed any straight Telugu film, the dubbed versions of his films such as Pandemkodi, Run, and Awara were massive hits in Telugu.
Ram also recently confirmed his first pan-India project with mass director Boyapati Srinu. Ram shared this exciting news on social media and termed the director as the ‘Daddy of Mass Emotions’. And now with Icon in his lineup, the young hero is surely going to take a giant leap towards the mass image that he’s cultivating. Venu Sriram has narrated the project to Ram and the latter has given a positive response to the project.
Meanwhile, Dil Raju, who is bankrolling Icon had expressed happiness over the script work. Raju said that the script is quite emotional and bound to touch hearts. He added that it’s a matter of pride that such a subject is coming out of his production house.
