After Mahesh babu and Venkatesh, Puri Jagannath has reportedly taken his prestigious project, ‘Jana Gana Mana’ to Balakrishna Nandamuri.
Post the success of Gautamiputra Satakarni, Balayya has been indulged in discussions with several directors but he is yet to give his nod to one. Puri Jagannath was sometime ago in news to have been zeroed in on as a probable director to helm the biopic of Sr NTR. As the script work for that legendary project is still in progress, Puri has reportedly narrated the subject of ‘Jana Gana Mana’ to Balayya.
After Mahesh didn’t show keenness to do it, Puri took this subject to Venkatesh. Although the senior hero liked it, the project didn’t materialize given the high budget, close to Rs 45 Cr involved. As Baayya has just hit Rs 50 Cr club with GPS, Puri is reportedly trying to get the assent of the ‘Legend’ star for his pet project.
If Balayya gives his nod to Puri, this project would go on floors next month itself. Senior Tamil director KS Ravi Kumar’s name is also strongly heard as a probable director for Balayya’s 101st project. For now, Nandamuri fans are eagerly waiting for an official announcement from their favorite hero.
