Lingusamy directed several notable hits like Anandam, Sandakkozhi, Run, Paiyaa, Vettai, and Anjaan in his long career. He is currently directing a new film in both tamil and telugu under the title 'RoPo 19' and ram pothineni essays the lead role in this bilingual venture. The movie is shaping as a commercial mass masala and Krithi Shetty of 'Uppena' fame will be seen as Ram's love interest.
Adi, who has acted in films like Mirugam, Eeram, and Aravan, plays the villain and he has been completely transformed into a new shape for this negative role. The trio of Krithi Shetty - ram pothineni and aadhi has generated huge hype for this movie and currently, the team shoots for the penultimate schedule in Hyderabad.
Already, director Shankar surprised the crew of 'RaPo19' by visiting them personally on the sets and wishing them good luck. Now, the hindi rights of this movie have been sold for a whopping 17 Crores amount and this is huge as the shooting of the movie itself is not yet done and this clearly shows Lingusamy's making style has the potential and market value. ram pothineni pins huge hopes on this movie as he wanted to set his foot stronger in the tamil cinema market just like Krithi Shetty.
