Puri Jagannath is not just a maverick director. He is in fact a good human being who cares most about his friends and near ones. Being a busy director for whom many top heroes are queuing up for, Puri could have easily chosen a Mahesh Babu or Varun Tej or Chiranjeevi to kick start a project. But, his choice of doing ‘Jyothi Lakshmi’ with fading out beauty Charmi is at variance.
Most importantly, the way Puri made the combination of Charmi and producer C Kalyan set for production of ‘Jyothi Lakshmi’ also sounds different. Yes, all three are production partners in the film. While C Kalyan and a set of his few people invested on actual budget of film, profits of the project are agreed for equal sharing between the three.
From long time, Charmi is scratching the back of Puri requesting for an opportunity to work under his direction. It is more of a friendly package Puri offered to Charmi where in everyone benefited along with producer. If some reports are to be believed, each of them are going to pocket a huge sum of 5 to 6 Crores for working a few months on ‘Jyothi Lakshmi.’ That is typical Puri style of working.
