Puri's Neck on the Chopping Block?

Chirutha release has been postponed once again. Reason? Chiranjeevi wants to personally supervise the pre-release publicity.

And the one man who is most anxious about the fate of Chirutha, of all people, is director Puri Jagannath. He has done his best, but still some doubts linger. There was news that he did not have a completely free hand in direction and that there was some interference (Darsakathna Paryavekhshana!). The re-shooting of some sequences once again in Bangkok is just one example.

Now Puri is in an unenviable position. His position is like – 'Heads you win, tails I lose' or if the film is a hit, then all credit goes to Ram Charan and if the film does not do well for any reason, then all blame is put at Puri Jagannath's door.

So Puri must be praying really hard, more than Chiranjeeevi and Ram Charan Tej, for the success of the film.
