Just
the
other
day,
we
told
you
about
filmmaker
Puri
Jagannadh
penning
down
a
new
script
amid
the
Coronavirus
lockdown.
Though
we
don't
know
any
details
about
his
new
project,
the
story
is
reportedly
shaping
up
quite
well.
And
if
the
latest
grapevine
is
true
then
Jagannadh
is
scripting
this
new
story
for
megastar
Chiranjeevi.
Yes,
you
heard
that
right!
While
talking
to
a
Telugu
daily,
the
maverick
director
recently
revealed
that
he
had
started
writing
a
script
for
a
star
hero
but
refused
to
name
him
and
said
he
would
announce
it
at
the
right
time.
Of
course,
fans
started
speculating
about
this
mystery
hero
on
social
media
and
quite
a
few
names
cropped
up
in
the
process.
But
now
according
to
123telugu.com,
Puri
Jagannadh's
new
script
is
for
Chiranjeevi
and
no
one
else.
Interestingly,
Puri
was
all
set
to
direct
the
actor-turned-politician
in
the
movie
Auto
Johnny
which
would
have
been
latter's
152nd
outing.
However,
the
64-year-old
superstar
wasn't
impressed
with
the
second
half
of
the
script
and
therefore
things
didn't
materialize
between
them.
We
hear
this
episode
even
affected
their
equation
to
an
extent
but
things
have
changed
and
now
Puri
is
quite
excited
to
pen
down
a
script
for
Chiru.
Will
things
work
out
this
time
around?
Let's
hope
they
do
because
both
Puri
Jagannadh
and
Chiranjeevi
are
supremely
talented
in
their
respective
fields
and
we
are
sure
if
they
come
together,
they'll
create
magic
on
the
big
screen.
Currently,
Chiranjeevi
has
Koratala
Siva's
directorial
venture,
Acharya
on
his
plate.
The
social
drama
also
features
Kajal
Aggarwal
and
Ram
Charan
in
important
roles.
The
movie
is
said
to
be
based
on
the
subject
of
Naxalism
and
is
expected
to
arrive
in
theatres
on
August
14.
