Telugu star Ram Pothineni was last seen in Puri Jagannadh’s commercial masala entertainer, iSmart Shankar, which turned out to be a blockbuster hit at the box office. His next film would be RED, which is the remake of Arun Vijay’s Thadam, directed by Magizh Thirumeni. This action thriller features three leading ladies including Nivetha Pethuraj, Amritha Aiyer, and Malvika Sharma. The film was initially scheduled to release on April 9, but it has now been postponed to a later date due to the unfortunate corona pandemic.
