Pawan Kalyan and Mahesh Babu are undoubtedly the top stars of Tollywood. They adjust themselves while working with each of our talented directors. Maintaining a healthy rapport with director enhances the final result on screen. These two understand this basic principle and adhere to it evolving themselves as director's selective choice of actors. When analysed the same from director's perspective, the style and modus operandi of Puri Jagannath is quite different. He follows the strict formula of packing the production schedules in brisk time period. May it be 'Businessman' with Mahesh Babu or 'Cameraman Ganga Tho Rambabu' with Pawan Kalyan, never did Puri see his heroes stardom as an obstacle in decreasing his work speed.
Now that 'Auto Johnny' is getting for a go in Puri direction with Chiranjeevi as hero, there is an interesting discussion heard in film circles on how far Puri can amend his direction principles to match with Mega Star's charisma. Of course, Chiru is a hero of all seasons. He adopted well with changing trends in film making. Its hard for any hero to sustain in stardom unless and until he rediscovers himself with varying tastes of public.
Given the current scenario, Chiranjeevi distanced from donning the grease paint for quite a long while. He is of course monitoring the projects of Ramcharan, Varun Tej and Sai Dharam, he isn't an active part with on screen mesmerism. So, Puri should accept a fact that Chiranjeevi is neither Mahesh Babu nor Pawan Kalyan. As this is milestone 150th film, Mega Star will study and see each and every element in detail. So, it would be not that easy for Puri to follow his 'Jyothi Lakshmi' principles in directing most experienced Chiranjeevi as 'Auto Johnny.'
