Actor Ram is like a livewire: Telugu producer

Telugu producer B.V.S.N. Prasad describes Ram Pothineni as one of the most energetic actors in filmdom and says his energetic persona was apt for the role in forthcoming film "Ongole Gitta".

"Ram is one of the most energetic heroes in the industry. He's lke a livewire," Prasad told IANS.

"'Ongole Gitta' is a commercial entertainer. Therefore, 'Ram's very apt for the film," he said and added: "We've made the film in such a way that his character is better than the energetic roles he has played in films such as 'Ready' and 'Kandireega'."

"Ongole Gitta", directed by Bommarillu Bhaskar, also stars Kriti Kharbanda.

"We're left with shooting of one song. We hope to release the film during Republic Day weekend," said Prasad.

G.V. Prakash Kumar has composed the music for the film, which also stars Prakash Raj, Abhimanyu Singh, Brahmanandam, Raghubabu and Rama Prabha.

Praising the director's skills, Prasad said: "Bhaskar knows how to add appropriate amount of commercial elements into the film without defeating its purpose."
