Telugu actor Ram Pothineni, who was last seen in iSmart Shankar, has announced his new film. 
The actor revealed that the film will be titled Red officially via Twitter. "This one is going to be so bloody-different," wrote Ram. 

A remake of Tamil action-crime thriller Thadam, the film will have Ram play a dual role and also reunite him with director Kishore Tirumala, after Nenu Sailaja and Vunnadhi Okate Zindagi.

The Telugu version will see actors Nivetha Pethuraj and Malvika Sharma play the female leads. Shooting will commence on November 16 for this remake backed by Sravanthi Ravi Kishore, with music by Mani Sharma. 

The film will arrive in theatres on April 9, 2020.
