Director Puri Jagannadh elevated Ravi Teja to stardom. Ravi Teja’s status as a lead hero was secured with films such as “Itlu Sravani Subramanyam”, “Idiot”, and “Amma Nanna O Tamil Ammayi”. All of these films were directed by Puri Jagannadh.
However, Puri Jagannadh’s relations with Ravi Teja is currently strained. It will be much more tense when Ravi Teja’s “Mr Bachchan” competes against Puri Jagannadh’s “Double iSmart.”
Nearly two months ago, Puri Jagannadh announced the release date of “Double iSmart” starring Ram Pothineni. This strategy has been used by the team to make promotions. But the production studio People Media Factory has abruptly announced the release date of Ravi Teja’s “Mr. Bachchan” as August 15, 2024, putting Puri’s film in direct competition.
Charmee, the producer of “Double iSmart,” is reportedly to have approached Ravi Teja’s associates and attempted to avoid competition, but no agreement was reached. As a result, Puri Jagannadh reportedly was miffed with Ravi Teja and filmmaker Harish Shankar for their “unfriendly attitude.”
