MUMBAI: Filmmaker Puri Jagannadh’s upcoming pan-India film “Double iSmart” will be released in theatres on March 8, 2024, the makers announced on Wednesday.

The film, backed by the filmmaker and Charmme Kaur’s banner Puri Connects, features Telugu actor Ram Pothineni in the lead.

In a post on microblogging site X, the banner said the movie will be released in five languages -- Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam.

"The countdown begins to experience Ustaad @ramsayz & dashing director #PuriJagannadh's DOUBLE MASS MADNESS in theatres. 100 days to go for #DoubleISMART. Massive release worldwide on March 8, 2024," the production house said.

Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, who was recently seen in Vijay's Tamil hit "Leo", is also part of the cast of “Double iSmart”.

Mani Sharma has composed music for the film.
