Desperate times for Puri Jagannadh

Puri Jagannadh is desperate for a hit. None of his recent films have done well except Temper, which was a reasonable hit. Recently, on the 10th anniversary of Pokiri, he announced a film, Jana Gana Mana, with Mahesh Babu.

No one knows what the story is or when the film will start, and it seems that Puri made the announcement out of desperation. The director has now approached Jr NTR, and has said that he will announce another film on the occasion of Jr NTR’s birthday (May 20).

The actor apparently did not agree initially, but the director made him accept.
Rumour in the industry is that Puri Jaganadh is approaching big stars and forcing them to commit, but only to title announcements.
