Mahesh Babu's condition to Puri Jagannadh

Puri Jagannadh who is certainly not in best of his forms in the recent past is gearing up to direct his next movie with Prince Mahesh Babu in the lead. Although Mahesh agreed to do ‘The Businessman’ movie under Puri direction, he has made it clear to the director that he will only do the film if he comes up with a bound script. Earlier when Mahesh and Puri worked together for Pokiri, the actor was hell bent about full fledged script. Puri is not known for writing full bound script before going to sets, but he obliged to Mahesh’s condition and the rest is history. Mahesh Babu has no doubts on Puri’s capabilities but he feels that Jagan can only deliver his best with full fledged script. Hence, he is insisting upon bound script before hitting the sets it seems. Puri generally doesn’t obey others orders but he is not in a position to dictate terms at the moment. Interestingly Puri was running through bad phase in his career during pre Pokiri days too.

Puri Jagannadh finds fault with Mahesh Babu

Puri Jagannath was one of the top directors in Tollywood few years ago. Of late he has been struggling with a series of flops. Despite bagging a hit with Desamuduru, Puri is not up to the mark post Pokiri. After shattering all the records of Telugu cinema with Pokiri, Puri lost his midas touch completely.             Puri Jagannadh says that this Mahesh Babu film is the reason for his failures now. "People are simply comparing all my movies with Pokiri and writing them off. Now I regret doing that film. If not for Pokiri, I would've delivered at least five to six hits by now. Pokiri doesn’t happen all the time. Even me or Mahesh Babu can't do it everytime," he said.             Not only Puri but also Mahesh is suffering post Pokiri. He is yet to register a hit after that. Puri and Mahesh jointly would break the jinx may be. They both are teamed up to do Businessman movie which will hit the sets in August.
