Puri says Yes to Ileana - No to 'Pokiri'

Successful film maker Puri Jagannath who is still in the hang over of ‘Pokiri’ from last few years seems to be coming out of this shadow now. All his next ventures (except ‘Desamuduru’), many followed the path of ‘Pokiri’ in style of narration and were taken to severe beating including with ‘Golimaar’ (the ulta-pulta to ‘Pokiri’).

After facing rejections in the hands of Balakrishna, Venkatesh and Amitabh Bachchan; Puri zeroed upon Daggubati Rana for his next flick. Now, the news about this project is coming out clear that Ileana is finalized as heroine besides Rana. After ‘Pokiri,’ never was Puri looked upon Ileana and this time he is playing the cards safe with Rana and the intention is clear to deliver the biggest ever blockbuster with a new story that is totally away from ‘Pokiri’ shades.

So, wait till September 4 to go out for the launch of this big movie.
