Yesterday, hero Ram Pothineni is fined Rs 200 by the Hyderabad Police for smoking in public. This became a hot topic among the public and even Ram fans.

Reacting on this, hero Ram said he did not smoke in the shot interval and in fact it is all part of the shooting. Currently the title song of ‘iSmart Shankar’ is being canned at Charminar and while shooting, Ram was smoking. The police who noticed his caught him and imposed a fine.

Despite knowing that it is all part of shooting, hero Ram paid the fine as a law abiding citizen.

Hope the issue is settled.

‘iSmart Shankar’ is a directorial of Puri Jagannadh and being produced by Charmme Kaur.
