After producing masala potboilers like Pokiri, Shivamani and Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi, director Puri Jagannadh is all set to direct a movie on the life and work of the late chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy. Known for his out and out commercial films, the director admits that this film is the biggest challenge of his career. “The movie requires a lot of research and I will be travelling to his home town Pulivendula to learn more about his life.
We have to be extra careful while making Rajasekhar Reddy because he was a man who has always been in the public eye and we need to get every detail right. I want to meet everyone who was close to the late CM so that I can do justice to his great journey,” he says. About Kangana Ranaut, who is touted to be his current muse. “I am a big fan of Kangana Ranaut,” admits Jagannath. “I’ve known her for long and I wanted her to do the item song in Pokiri a few years ago.
But she was busy with Gangster then. She is a fantastic performer and her item number will surely be a hit. I’m now planning to cast her as a lead heroine in one of my movies,” adds the director who is also gearing up to direct a Hindi film soon. One director who understands the pulse of the younger generation, Puri Jagannath gets all his feedback from Facebook. “Being part of the youngsters’ world helps me understand their tastes better. Also, I get direct response from them through the website. Every day, I spare some time to reply to everyone’s queries, comments and suggestions,” he says.
