Ram Pothineni began his acting career at the age of 12 and rose to prominence with his first Telugu film, Devadasu (2006). RaPo believes he ‘didn’t realise the kind of success Devadasu was back then,’ since the film set a record by running 175 days in 17 cities for a debutant star. There has been no turning back for him since then.
Ram discusses how he copes with adversity and success in an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla ahead of the premiere of his film The Warriorr. “When the film is blockbuster, I’m glad that the audience enjoyed it too but when it bombs, it is more of an analysis. I don’t get too excited or too disappointed about anything now.”
According to him, his second film, Jagadam, “was again a tremendous letdown.”I was a teenager then it was more like heartbreak for me. I have seen everything extreme, so now, it is more about balance,” he adds as he reveals his industry survival strategy.
The Red actor has come a long way in his career, and he is known for his intense passion and zeal. “The first thought that comes about the journey is I have enjoyed a lot though it has been one rollercoaster ride. My choice of films are not on purpose but I like to cater to all kind of audience and luckily people have accepted me in both massy and classy roles,” said the Energetic Ram Pothineni.
Ram went all out for iSmart Shankar, playing a radically different persona as a street-smart Hyderabadi. “It was more of me wanting to watch a film like that, something crazy, wacky and wild… and I believe, why can’t a villain have a love story. I was like why the lead character has to be always so good. That was actually my frustration and so, I wanted to do something wild.”
