Puri Jagannadh mulls Telugu-Tamil bilingual?

Popular director Puri Jagannadh who is busy making an action adventure ‘Double Ismart’ with Ram Pothineni and Sanjay Dutt, is reportedly planning to make a Telugu-Tamil bilingual movie next. “He wants to expand his fan base and is scripting a big ticket multilingual film to reach out to Tamil audiences along with his favourite Telugu viewers,” says a source.

He claims that the ‘Pokiri’ director wanted to do a Tamil film for a long time but only now he got some time to write a proper script that would lure Tamil audiences in big numbers. “He is drafting a larger-than-life script that would be a mix of fiction and reality since he has to strike a balance between Telugu and Tamil audience," he informs.

Actually, some of Puri's blockbusters like ‘Pokiri’, ‘Amma Nanna Tamilammayi’ and ‘Temper’ were remade in Tamil and they worked wonders at the box office. “His stylish making and his depiction of his fearless heroism and glamour songs coupled with humorous scenes have made him a star director in Tollywood. Now, he is looking to do a Tamil film and conquer Kollywood as well," he concludes.
