At one point in time, Puri Jagannadh was one of the most popular directors as well as the most sought-after directors in the Telugu Film Industry. He is responsible for some of the most iconic films in Tollywood like Pokiri, Temper, Idiot, and so on.
He has also made a decent name for himself in Bollywood as well. Pokiri was remade as wanted in Hindi with Salman Khan and it became one of the biggest hits of Bollywood at the time. Puri also made a Hindi film with Amitabh titled Buddha Hoga Tera Baap, which became a hit. In short, Puri was a force to be reckoned with in his prime but off-late, he seems to be at the lowest point in his career.
Ever since Temper, Puri has struggled to make an impact in Tollywood. Even though Ismart Shankar did good numbers, it was still far from his best. His more recent movies like Heart Attack, Loafer, Rogue, and Ism have been terrible performers.
But after the failure of Liger, things have gotten even worse for the director. No financier is interested to invest in Puri’s movies and no hero seems to be interested as well. For the first time, Puri is struggling to put a movie on set. We have to wait and see if Puri can bounce back from this or whether worse times are ahead. With Jana Gana Mana also in danger, we only wish the best for Puri.
