Actress Nidhhi Agerwal's performance in the Telugu blockbuster 'iSmart Shankar' cemented her place in commercial cinema. She couldn't help but wonder if she would want to play the lead role in case the film is adapted in Hindi.
In the Telugu hit, actor Ram Pothineni played the titular role of iSmart Shankar. The film had all the ingredients of being a commercial hit. In times when boundaries between Indian film industries are blurring, Nidhhi believed that it's Hindi remake would be equally successful.
"I would love to see this film being remade in Hindi. I think it will be a very entertaining film if it's made in Hindi and it would again do the numbers,"Nidhhi told IANS.
When asked, who should play Ram Pothineni's character in the Hindi remake, Nidhhi replied with a childlike giggle: "I think Ram himself should play the role or me, what do you say? Should I be iSmart Shankar and kick some a''?"

The film was directed by Puri Jagannath and also starred actress Nabha Natesh and Satyadev. It set the cash registers ringing at box office and introduced Nidhhi to never-before mass popularity.
"I feel very proud that I am part of the film because it was such a big hit and I think it was the first time that I was exposed to the mass crowd. The crowd that I absolutely love. It was the first time I was exposed to that kind of love and attention and I absolutely loved it. I do feel very emotionally connected and close with 'iSmart Shankar' because of the people involved in the film. I am very fond of everyone involved in the film," she said
The vivacious actress made her acting debut with 2017 Bollywood film "Munna Michael". She then moved to Telugu films with the Naga Chaitanya-starrer 'Savyasachi.'
She strongly felt that every film added something to her life. "I think every film adds so much and teaches you so much as an artiste and it's a whole other experience and world. So, you end up learning so much and end up being a part of one world," she says.
