Puri Jagannadh almost bags a bumper offer after disaster

Puri Jagannadh is down but not out. There is nothing that can hold him back forever, not even a colossal flop like 'Liger'.

Megastar Chiranjeevi has publicly asked the 'iSmart Shankar' maker to prepare a story for him. The director is overjoyed about the same.

After the humiliating failure of 'Liger', many thought that Puri will struggle to bag a project with an A-list actor. Now that Chiru himself has asked him to meet him with a story, the director is going to be unstoppable.

Wielding the megaphone for a Megastar movie will be Puri's dream-come-true moment. 'Auto Johnny' was Puri's first story for Chiru. The project didn't come through for various reasons. Opportunities went to the likes of VV Vinayak, Surender Reddy, Mohan Raja, Bobby and Meher Ramesh while Puri had to bide his time.

Chiru's offer to Puri comes after the actor suspended a project with 'Bheeshma' maker Venky Kudumula. If Puri makes the best use of the golden opportunity, his career is going to see a major turnaround.
