Charmi was with out a proper hit for a very long time and she pinned all her hopes on her upcoming film, Jyothi Lakhsmi with which she is also turning in to a producer for the first time. The film is about a sex worker, Jyothi Lakshmi who decides to leave her past behind and lead a normal and routine life with her husband.
Charmi says the film is very close to her heart and she had lost 11 Kgs for the role in this film. The movie is releasing this Friday. Jyothi Lakshmi witnessed some very good business due to the Puri’s brand associated with it.
Puri Jagannadh is one of the most in-demand directors in Tollywood despite the movie results. However he came out of the cocoon and is directing a low budget film, Jyothi Lakshmi starring Charmi. Puri himself revealed that the movie is inspired from a novel titled ‘Mrs.Parankusam’ which was written by ace writer Malladi Venkata Krishna Murthy at the age of 19 years.
