Filmmaker Harish Shankar says he has pushed himself as a director and writer with forthcoming Telugu action entertainer Duvvada Jagannadham.

The film, starring Allu Arjun, is slated to hit screens in India on June 23.

“DJ is that one special film for me where I pushed myself as a writer and director to deliver the best. This resulted in a one-of-its-kind climax. I’m sure you guys will have a blast in the theatres,” Shankar tweeted on Tuesday.

Produced by Dil Raju, the film marks the first collaboration between Arjun and Shankar.

Shankar also thanked producer Raju and Arjun for making “this journey special”.

Also starring Pooja Hegde, the film features Arjun in the role of a Brahmin chef. The film was partly shot in Abu Dhabi.

The film has music by Devi Sri Prasad.
