He is Puri's Next Hero!

There has been much hub-bub for the past couple of days on maverick director Puri Jagannadh's next. Speculation were rife that Puri Jagannadh might wield megaphone for Megastar Chiranjeevi's most prestigious 150th venture. Puri, himself, expressed his desire to do this much anticipated movie and he registered a title 'Auto Johnny' at the film chamber. It was also being rumoured that Puri will be teaming up with Mega Prince Varun Tej for the latter's second movie. However, Varun Tej's second movie 'Kanche' was recently launched and the movie will be directed by Krish.

According to the inside sources, Puri Jagannadh will be directing his next with Nithiin. The combo has earlier worked for 'Heart Attack' which has done above average business at the ticket windows. The combo's new film will be produced by Nithiin's father, Sudhakar Reddy on Shresht Movies.
