Sensational director and filmmaker Puri Jagannadh is known for directing back to back films. Despite of wrapping up films on time, none of his recent outings turned impressive and Puri is currently under huge pressure. The ace director pinned all his hopes on Nandamuri Balakrishna’s Paisa Vasool and the film went on to end up as a debacle at the box-office. With nothing much to do, Puri moved on to his next project which will feature his son Akash Jagannadh in the lead role. The pre-production work of the film has been wrapped up recently.

Puri Jagannadh has been in hunt for the right actress so that she can match and suit Akash on screen. This untitled romantic entertainer will be shot in Hyderabad and Bangkok completely. Bengaluru based model Neha Shetty has been finalized for the role after the makers conducted a look test. Puri has been extremely impressed with the model and he locked her. The movie will start rolling in October and will be produced by Puri’s home banner Puri Connects. Charmee will take care of the production work and the movie will hit the screens during the first quarter of 2018.
