Puri Jagannath to direct Chiru's 150
Hyderabad: 'I will do my 150th film which will be directed by Puri Jagannath,' Chiranjeevi announced at the premier of 'Buddha Hoga Tera Baap', starring Amitabh Bachchan and directed by Jagannath.
Interestingly, Amitabh offered to play a guest role in Chiranjeevi's next film, much to the cheer of the fans. 'I have known Chiranjeevi for a long time now. We have good family relations and respect for each other.
I have just read a couple of days ago that he will not act in movies anymore. I am told that he acted in 149 movies. It is not a good number. He must act in one more movie and make it 150 movies. It is my suggestion as a friend' Amitabh said and added that Puri Jagannadh will direct that movie.
'Yes, I will act again, if Puri Jagannath directs the film,' Chiranjeevi declared amidst loud cheers by scores of fans and film personalities present at the multiplex complex.
At the launch of UTV's Action Telugu movie channel two days ago, Chiranjeevi, who is now a member of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, said he would not act in films henceforth and the gap would be filled by his actor-son Ram Charan Tej. Incidentally, Charan will be producing his father's 150th movie.
Chiranjeevi, who debuted in 1977 with 'Punadhirallu', has been part of critically and commercially hit films like 'Idi Katha Kaadu', 'Punnami Naagu', 'Subhalekha', 'Khaidi', 'Pasivadi Pranam', 'Hitler' and 'Rudraveena'.
