Puri Jagannath thought of making the 150th film of Chiranjeevi with his script titled 'Auto Jani'. But that didn't happen as the opportunity went to VV Vinayak with Khaidi 150.
Eventually, there was no beckon from Chiranjeevi, and so Puri moved on with Balakrishna making some changes and tretitling it as 'Paisa Vasool'.
Many in the film industry know this back story. Even the sources close to Puri Jagannath confirm the same even now.
As a surprise, Chiranjeevi asked Puri Jagannath about 'Auto Jani' in an informal video chit chat that was released online yesterday. Puri didn't get affected by the surprise, but simply answered that he 'kept that script aside'.
He didn't reveal that he already made a film with that script. As an extension Puri also said that he is going to come up with a new script for Chirabjeevi very soon.
By all means, it looks like Chiranjeevi is going to join Puri Jagannath after Bhola Shankar and Waltair Veerayya.
