He narrated an incident about how after his film’s release, SS Rajamouli’s father and veteran filmmaker Vijayendra Prasad called him and asked for a favor. As he spoke about the incident, the filmmaker was evidently emotional.
Speaking at the event, Puri Jagannadh said, “One week after my previous movie (Liger) was released and flopped, I received a call from Vijayendra Prasad garu. He never calls me, and I was surprised to get a call from him.”
Further, the filmmaker stated that Vijayendra Prasad asked him for a favor and asked him to narrate the story to him before his next film’s release. “I can’t see directors like you failing due to small mistakes.” “I was very emotional after his (Vijayendra Prasad) call,” added Liger’s director.
