Director Puri Jagannath made his pan-Indian debut with Vijay Deverakonda’s Liger, which was released in August this year. There were decent expectations on the film before release, but the film turned out to be a major disaster upon release, resulting in a lot of financial troubles for Puri, who is still recovering.
In the meantime, the director is under pressure to complete his dream project, Jana Gana Mana, the shooting for which he had begun way before the release of Liger, with Vijay Deverakonda in the lead role. However, following the result of Liger, the film got put on hold. The director is currently on the lookout for a new leading man for the film.
After wrapping up that film, the director is said to be planning to team up with Megastar Chiranjeevi for a pan-Indian film. What the story is, and when it will begin is yet to be revealed, but sources have said that this project will definitely take place, given that Chiru and Puri have been wanting to collaborate for a really long time now.
