Puri Cheated Pawan Kalyan

Way back in 2000, it was Pawan Kalyan who gave Puri Jagannadh a chance to direct his movie 'Badri', which was a smash hit. Pawan gave Puri Jagannadh the chance at a time when Puri was struggling as an director. Cut to present, Puri Jagannadh is one of the most admired filmmakers of modern cinema

Badri – we know what sort of a blockbuster it is! It was the story of a guy who fell in love with two girls.Recently, during the audio launch of Dilunnodu, Puri narrated how he managed to convince the power star for the film

As a upcoming time director at that time  Puri doesn’t have chance to meet Pawan directly and the only point of contact was cinematographer Chota K Naidu.

During the course of it, he met cinematographer Chota K Naidu and expressed his wish to narrate a story to Pawan Kalyan. The ace cinematographer  asked to narrate him the story

Only if Chota was convinced about the story, would he let the director gain access to Pawan That is in when, Puri fell into a dilemma.‘Badri’ is a romantic tale of a man in love with two women at a time. So, Puri somehow felt Chota might not like this.

Suddenly he got some cunning idea and he has narrated the story of Itlu Sravani Subramanyam to Chota K Naidu and the latter was very impressed with the plot. As promised earlier, he did introduce Jagan to Pawan Kalyan believing him to narrate the same story. But, our smart Puri narrated ‘Badri’ line and surprisingly, even Pawan like it.

Sometimes cunning nature also helps you to reach the heights and Puri is the best example…That’s the story behind Badri Movie and he showed his mark style and dialogues to tollywood
