Puri
Jagannadh
said
he
felt
very
bad
that
he
missed
an
opportunity
to
work
with
Megastar
Chiranjeevi,
but
has
now
vowed
to
work
with
him
in
the
future.
The
director
was
the
first
choice
to
direct
Chiranjeevi's
comeback
film,
which
will
now
be
helmed
by
V.V.
Vinayak.
"It's
unfortunate
that
things
didn't
work
and
I
missed
out
on
the
opportunity
to
direct
the
film.
But
I'll
definitely
work
with
Chiranjeevi
sir
in
the
future," said
Jagannadh.
The
49-year
old
missed
out
on
the
opportunity
after
Chiranjeevi
was
unhappy
with
the
second
half
of
the
story,
which
he
had
written
for
him.
"Had
he
given
me
more
time,
I'd
have
reworked
on
the
script.
Instead,
he
told
people
(media)
that
he
didn't
like
it.
I
felt
very
bad
that
he
didn't
deal
the
matter
with
me
directly.
However,
I've
put
all
that
behind
and
we
still
share
a
great
friendship,"
he
added.
Now
geared
up
for
the
release
of
Loafer
starring
Varun
Tej
this
week,
the
director
is
confident
about
the
product.
Heaping
praise
on
his
hero,
whom
he
considers
a
star
in
the
making,
he
said:
"I
was
blown
away
by
Varun's
performance.
He
was
brilliant
in
an
emotional
scene
that
also
features
veteran
actress
Revathy,
who
plays
his
mother".
"It's
an
emotional
drama
between
a
mother
and
his
son.
The
mother
wishes
that
her
son,
who
is
taken
away
by
his
father,
is
not
raised
as
a
loafer
but
the
father
raises
him
as
one,"
he
revealed.
