'iSmart Shankar' has received 'A' certificate from the Censor Board. Make no mistakes. Puri Jagannadh and Ram Pothineni are proud of it, probably because that's what they wanted. The makers are almost suggesting that 'A' is what you get when you bring out an explosive mix of 'Pokiri', 'Businessman' and 'Desamuduru'.

"The Censor Board says it’s “A” kickass film! Statutory Warning: Cigarette Smoking, Consumption of Alcohol and Following #iSmartShankar in real life are injurious to health. Be ismart enough to realize that he’s “A” fictional character," tweets out Ram, wanting the audience to make a distinction between reel life and real life.

Starring Nabha Natesh as a civil engineer and Nidhhi Agerwal as a neuro-scientist, the so-called "mass sci-fi" has Satyadev in a crucial role. It releases on July 18.
