Mass and dashing director Puri Jagannath’s films have a separate trend in our Tollywood. It is Puri’s specialty to transform a hero who has been the same till then into something else with his film.. That’s why he thinks that any hero should work with Puri. The latest movie to do so is “Double Smart”. With the first film “Smart Shankar”, he showed the hero Ram Pothineni in an unexpected makeover and now he is coming with the sequel.

But the pre-release event of this movie was held today in Warangal with great excitement and Puri Jagannath shared an emotional incident that happened in the case of his previous movie Plop. After the Liger flop, he said that he had not decided which film to do, and at that time he received a phone call. If you look at it, it is Vijayendra Prasad’s phone call.

Puri said that Vijayendra Prasad, who did not call even when the films were hits, picked up the call in doubt as to why he did it now and asked him what is his next film. Vijayendra Prasad asked Puri to tell me the story of which film you want to make, and Puri replied that he had not thought of anything yet.

But Puri shared an interesting incident when he called me saying that his favorite director did not like such flops and asked me to see if there are any mistakes in the story. With this, this time I decided to make a film with a little closer eye and I made Double Smart.

However, this story was not told to Vijayendra Prasad, but Puri made interesting comments that he would give a treat to him if he hits. And Vijayendra Prasad, who gave the story to the global hit movie RRR, is very fond of Puri.. He also said in an interview that Puri’s photo is still on the screen of Vijayendra Prasad’s phone. And it remains to be seen whether such a writer’s favorite director will make a hit.
