Puri Jagannadh undermining his own son’s career
Director Puri Jagannadh is a well-known name in Telugu cinema. He made a mark in the industry without any background, purely through hard work and unique storytelling. With hit films starring big names like Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu, he once ruled the box office. But after *iSmart Shankar*, Puri hasn’t had much success. His recent films like *Liger* and *iSmart Shankar 2* failed to impress audiences and critics alike.
Now, Puri is preparing for a strong comeback. He has teamed up with Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi for his next movie. The film also features veteran actress Tabu and Kannada actor Duniya Vijay in important roles. Produced by Charmme Kaur, this project has created quite a buzz.

Interestingly, reports suggest that Puri has given his son Akash Puri a small role in the film. This has sparked debates online. Many fans are questioning why Puri, known for launching many actors successfully, hasn’t been able to give his own son a big break.
Akash, who made his debut with high expectations, is yet to deliver a strong hit. Instead of leading roles, he now seems to be getting only supporting parts, even in his father’s films. This has led to online criticism, with some saying that Puri is damaging his son’s career by not giving him better opportunities.
Despite the criticism, others believe that a well-written side role could still help Akash shine. After all, not every success comes from playing the hero some actors grow through strong character roles.
Fans are now waiting to see what kind of character Akash will play and whether this film can give his career a fresh start. With big names like Vijay Sethupathi involved, expectations are high. We’ll have to wait for the movie’s release to see how things unfold for Akash and if Puri can bounce back to his winning form.
