Puri Jagannadh is known for his commercial potboilers like Pokkiri and Businessman will be doing a passionate love story for the first time. The film has been titled Mehabooba, and the makers have released the first look today.

Here is what Puri Jagannadh had to say about this flick, "After finishing my Mehbooba script, I realized that I am doing a highly intense and a passionate love story for the first time ever which is completely out of my repertoire of ideas. It is a soulful love story in the backdrop of 1971 Indo-Pak war. Irrespective of the blood relation I share with Akash Puri, it's his love and fire towards cinema that's making me do this film with him. A Mangalorean girl named Neha Shetty will be playing the female lead. I am very happy that Sandeep Chowta is providing the music for this film. The film's shoot starts in October in picturesque locales of Himachal Pradesh and will continue in Punjab & Rajasthan as well." -Puri Jagannadh

Puri Jagannadh's statement regarding drug controversy

Renowned Tollywood director Puri Jagannadh was questioned for nearly 12 hours by Prohibition and Excise department on Wednesday in connection with the drug abuse case.

Here is Puri Jagannadh's official video statement, "I am ready to go whenever SIT calls me again. Basically, I am a very responsible person. Not only drugs, I was never into anything which is illegal. But what is disheartening to me is that media channels are running special programs to sensationalize this issue without knowing the real truth.

I have a great affinity towards police and journalists. I made many films based on good cops and my film ISM is on a journalist's life. I have always maintained a good relationship with the journalist group but they have shown their real 
colour when they got an opportunity to up their TRP. I am very frustrated with the media. In fact, they have destroyed my life. My mother, wife, children, and brothers are still in shock. Not only us, but many other families are suffering."
