Star filmmaker Puri Jagannadh is hailed as Dashing Director by his fans because of his powerful mass films. The attitude of his heroes has a special craze among the youth. The star director has recently completed film 'Liger' with Vijay Deverakonda and started another project with the same hero immediately. This film is titled 'Jana Gana Mana (JGM)'. He played small cameos in some of his own movies like 'Businessman', 'Temper', 'Ismart Shankar' and his son's 'Romantic'. He also played himself in Gautham Menon's 'Ye Maya Chesave'.
Now, he has turned into an actor once again for none other than Megastar Chiranjeevi. As we know, Puri Jagannadh claimed many times that it is his dream to direct Megastar one day.
