Puri Jagannadh may be one of the luckiest persons on the earth especially after bagging the chance to direct Megastar Chiranjeevi’s Landmark 150th film. He was chosen after constant scrutiny by the Megastar himself for over 2 years. Here is the story how Puri was chosen.
It was revealed by Puri himself in an interview. Here are some excerpts from that interview. “It all started five years ago at Bbuddah Hoga Tera Baap Premiere in Hyderabad. Big B personally convinced Chiranjeevi to make a comeback to films.
He even suggested me as the director as he is very impressed with my work. We all forgot that got back to our works. Few days ago, Chiranjeevi asked me to come to his office. He was sitting with a list of directors names in his hand.
My name is highlighted in it and he said he had finalized me as the director of his 150th project. He always believed in my abilities. He gave a chance to direct his son’s debut film and now this prestigious film”
