iSmart Shankar, a remake or a freemake?

The plot of the film revolves around a hero who has a mobile SIM card inserted into his head.

iSmart Shankar, starring Ram Pothineni and directed by Puri Jagannadh released its trailers recently, which are very impressive. The plot of the film, which reveals a new look for Ram, revolves around a hero who has a mobile SIM card inserted into his head.

It is widely believed that director Puri got the idea from a Korean film, iBoy, which was directed by Adam Randall. Adam’s thriller, based on Kevin Brooks’ book by the same name, also revolves around a protagonist who is implanted with a mobile chip in his brain. However, it is not yet clear whether the Telugu moviemakers have bought the rights of the Korean film or if they have just done a ‘free-make’ of the film.
