Directors Annoyed with Balayya-Puri?

Creative director Krishna Vamsi worked on 'Raithu' script for years. He pinned his hopes on canning the film with Natasimham Nandamuri Balakrishna as the hero. On the other hand, senior director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao worked on 'Aditya 369's sequel for decades. 

Furthermore, three writers are seriously penning the script of NTR's biopic. Instead of giving nod to either of these projects, Balakrishna has reportedly signaled green for maverick director Puri Jagannadh's new film, which, in fact, was not in cards for a long time. 

But then why has Puri been suddenly roped in for Balayya? Puri, who is known for making his films with supersonic speed, might have assured that he would wrap up the film in four months and the movie would be reading for release during the festive season of Dasara. This factor might have prompted Balakrishna for giving nod to Puri. But then, other filmmakers, who are eagerly waiting for Balakrishna's nod, may have been annoyed with Balayya and Puri's combo.
