As far as the present generation directors are concerned, Puri Jagannadh and S.S.Rajamouli are the only directors to have given one industry hit movie each in their careers. Puri Jagannadh gave his industry hit movie 'Pokiri' in the year, 2006 Prince Mahesh Babu and Ileana were the star cast of that film. Later, 'Pokiri's full run records were broken by S.S.Rajamouli's 'Magadheera'. Mega Power Star Ram Charan and Kajal Aggarwal were the leading star cast of that movie. There after, no movie of tollywood has broken the records of 'Magadheera'. Puri Jagannadh has given the hits like 'Deshamuduru', 'Chirutha' and 'Businessman' after his 'Pokiri' while Rajamouli has given hits like 'Maryada Ramanna' and 'Eega'. However, none of the above movies crossed previous industry hit's records.
Looks like, Puri Jagannadh has rather better chance to break the all time records of tollywood, as he is currently directing Power Star Pawan Kalyan for 'Cameraman Gangatho Rambabu'. It is a known thing that Pawan Kalyan's 'Gabbar Singh' has almost come nearer to 'Magadheera' records and his craze is currently at its peaks among the trade circles. At this juncture, if 'CGR' gets hit talk, it is going to be a cake walk for him to cross all the records of tollywood through CGR. Subsequently, Puri might become the one and only director of tollywood to have given two industry hits among the present day directors. Will it be happened? Let's wait and watch.
