It's been 20 years for the amazing journey of Puri Jagannath in the Telugu Film Industry. In his travel, the filmmaker worked with all the top stars and has experienced several ups and downs. But, he didn't collaborate with Megastar Chiranjeevi till now.


When Chiru was looking to make a solid comeback before Khaidi No.150, Puri narrated a storyline and titled it as 'Auto Jaani'. But, it did not move forward and Puri had missed an opportunity to work with Megastar for his comeback movie. However, undeterred Puri didn't stop his efforts to make a film with Chiranjeevi.

According to industry reports, Puri is still working on a script and the director is still hopeful about getting an opportunity to direct Megastar. After a series of flops, the star director scored a solid success in the form of 'ISmart Shankar' with Ram. Now, he is working on a Pan-India film 'Fighter' with Vijay Devarakonda. If it strikes gold at the box office, the filmmaker may get a call from Megastar.

On another hand, Chiranjeevi is gearing up to work with new-age directors who're coming up with interesting subjects. So, Puri is hopeful that he too may get a call from Megastar.
