It's just an announcement away. Puri Jagannadh is the director, say industry insiders. The probability of Puri Jagannadh directing megastar Chiranjeevi's 150th movie has increased.
But this time too, Puri will not work with his story, it is being said. Apparently, Chiranjeevi has decided to give Puri a story written by the Paruchuri Brothers. Though the megastar was keen on working with Trivikram, due to prior commitments Trivikram is unlikely get time to direct him. So, Chiranjeevi is said to have decided on Puri, who he was also keen on.
On the other hand, BVS Ravi is said to have told megastar that Puri would be an ideal choice for his story.
Puri’s latest film Temper is doing good business, it has managed positive talk and people have liked the message given in the film. So, talk in Film Nagar is that Puri will be the most probable choice and that an official announcement would be made any time soon.
And if that happens, it won’t be surprising if both the other projects, read Varun Teja and Mahesh’s projects could be pushed back.
