Puri Jagannadh plans to direct Hindi film
The director is wrapping up Temper, the story of a corrupt and cunning policeman, who transforms into someone very honest
Filmmaker Puri Jagannadh, who is busy wrapping up Telugu actioner Temper, says he has plans to direct a Hindi film this year, besides two other Telugu projects he has in the offing.
“My next film is titled Jyothi Lakshmi with Charmi. I intend to start it soon. I’ll also be doing another film with Varun Tej. I also plan to direct a Hindi film soon during the course of the year, but I’m not sure with whom,” Jagannadh said.
Asked if Jyothi Lakshmi is the biopic of eponymous yesteryear Telugu actress, Puri denied it, adding: “It’s too early to comment on it. I don’t want to talk about it until Temper releases.”
Temper features Junior NTR and Kajal Aggarwal in the lead roles.
“It’s the story of a corrupt and cunning policeman, who transforms into someone very honest. Temper is the most suitable title, going by the attitude of the character essayed by NTR,” he added.
Having collaborated with NTR after a decade, Puri said he “missed” working with him.
In Bollywood, Puri has earlier directed Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap.
