The latest news rocking T-town is the alleged rift between Puri Jagannadh and Jr NTR. Buzz is that Puri has stolen an idea from Puri’s script and used it for his ongoing Jai Lava Kusa. Talk is that Puri had narrated a story to Tarak sometime back that is pretty close to Jai’s character shown in the teaser. After seeing the teaser, Puri was said to be shell-shocked. Apparently, Puri lost his cool and created a huge scene on the sets of his ongoing film Paisa Vasool.
Puri had reportedly described Jr NTR as ‘Script Chor’. Sources close to Puri revealed that Puri’s story too feature a character with shades of Ravana that NTR got excited. Although both wanted to work for it, it didn’t materialise due to alleged creative differences. NTR had apparently suggested some changes in it to which Puri said no and this said to have put the project on the backburner.
A leading English daily has reported the whole issue claiming that the source was from Puri’s camp.When it contacted director Bobby, he quashed them as rumours and stated that it was his idea to have stammer for one of the characters. He said that he is not aware of anyone discussing similar to Tarak and added that the film would speak for itself. Meanwhile, both Puri and NTR remained tight-lipped on the issue. More details are yet to furnish.
