Surender Reddy and Maruthi aim for 'iSmart' hero

Tollywood: After Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, director Surender Reddy planned another movie with Ram Charan but it did not take off. Later, Surender Reddy tried to impress Prabhas even this plan did not work out. Then, Surender Reddy shifted his focus on to Varun Tej and when things are turning out positive, the lockdown arrived. Surender Reddy has to wait until Varun finishes his boxing drama which just started.

As a plan B, Surender Reddy approached Ram who did not sign any movie now. Ram is looking for a change of genre right now.
