After
the
release
of
Endhukante
Premanta,
Telugu
actor
Ram
Pothineni
is
now
busy
shooting
for
his
upcoming
movie
Ongole
Gitta,
which
is
being
directed
by
Bommarillu
Bhaksar
and
produced
by
BVSN
Prasad.
The
chocolate
hero
would
romance
milky
white
actress
Kriti
Kharbanda
in
the
film.
Earlier,
actress
Shubha
Phutela
was
roped
in
to
pair
with
Ram
in
the
movie
Ongole
Gitta,
but
the
makers
had
to
remove
her
after
the
first
schedule
in
Guntur
due
to
medical
reasons.
Later,
they
signed
South
African
model
Nikhita
Rhea,
who
came
on
board
and
walked
out
of
this
romantic
drama.
The
reason
is
not
clear
as
to
why
she
was
dropped
from
this
project.
The
latest
reports
suggest
that
actress
Kriti
Kharbanda
has
been
roped
in
to
play
female
lead
alongside
Ram
in
Ongole
Gitta.
In
a
statement
to
an
English
daily,
producer
BVSN
Prasad
himself
has
confirmed
the
news
about
casting
Kriti
Kharbanda
for
the
film.
According
to
him,
the
next
schedule
of
the
movie
will
start
soon
in
Tanuku.
Initially,
Bhaskar
had
approached
Tamil
actor
Karthi
for
the
role
of
the
hero.
After
he
rejected,
the
director
tried
to
rope
in
Allu
Arjun.
But
finally,
it
was
Ram
Pothineni,
who
agreed
to
play
the
role.
The
film's
story
is
set
in
the
backdrop
of
Guntur
market
yard.
Venkatesh
is
cranking
the
camera,
while
GV
Prakash
Kumar
composes
music
for
the
movie.
