Puri Jagannadh — who has recently delivered yet another blockbuster iSmart Shankar — has expressed his wish to direct a movie for Chiranjeevi. Notably, Chiranjeevi is one of the most popular Indian actors, who worked in more than 150 movies.
The actor-turned-politician is known for his outstanding skills. For the uninitiated, in 1987, Chiranjeevi featured in Swayam Krushi which was dubbed into Russian and was screened at the Moscow International Film Festival.
Puri Jagannadh’s last film iSmart Shankar received rave reviews and doing quite well at the box office in India. The movie iSmart Shankar has been in the news ever since its first poster was unveiled starring Ram Pothineni, Nabha Natesh, and Nidhhi Agerwal. Speaking about his dream, Puri Jagannadh recently told Tollywood.net “It’s a dream for me to direct Chiranjeevi. If I’m given an opportunity, I will read the script in just 5 minutes.”
Earlier there were reports stating that Puri Jagannadh is likely to direct a movie of Chiranjeevi which was tentatively titled Auto Johnny but the movie was shelved as Chiranjeevi and Ram Charan were not happy with the storyline. According to reports, especially, they did not like the second half of the film.
It looks like, we have to wait and see whether Puri Jagannadh’s dream of directing a movie of Chiranjeevi will come true or not.
Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi is all set to begin the shooting of Koratala Siva’ next film. For this film, Chiranjeevi has reportedly joined a spa resort to get back in shape and underwent a fortnights session. The shooting of the film is likely to kick off from September. A formal launch will be done in August.
