Puri Jagannadh is back in limelight. He has bounced back with “iSmart Shankar” which is a resounding success.
He once ruled the Telugu film industry as the number one director. But his last films bombed and his career and financial status were in danger.
“iSmart Shankar” has changed his fortunes and all the leading stars from Tollywood called him and congratulated him.
He says, “I got calls from all the stars. Ram Charan praised me and my work. He called personally. Rana, Chaitanya, Akhil, and Sumanth too called me and congratulated me. Even though Prabhas didn’t watch the film, he made a call to my phone to express how happy he is with the success I got. After a long time, I have got so many calls from the leading stars.”
However, he didn’t mention Mahesh Babu’s name. Mahesh Babu didn’t call him or congratulate.
Puri recently made comments against Mahesh saying that the superstar works with the directors who deliver hits.
He also said that he would not work with Mahesh Babu again as he has a character. This has created a furor.
