Finally, director Puri Jagannadh is on cloud nine with the success of iSmart Shankar. Since the success of iSmart Shankar, Mahesh Babu fans are urging Puri to work with Mahesh Babu for Jana Gana Mana.

Let us tell you that earlier the director and actor duo were supposed to work together for Jana Gana Mana after two superhit films Pokiri and Businessman.

Recently, when Mahesh Babu fans asked director Puri Jagannadh about Jana Gana Mana process, so the director in frustration made a sensational comment on the superstar.

According to web portal Tollywood.Com, Puri Jagannadh said, “I have worked with Mahesh Babu for a couple of movies. His fans have been asking me to work with Maharshi star again. But Mahesh Babu is one who works with directors who are on a success track. Mahesh Babu’ fans don’t understand the fact that their favourite star does the movies only with a hit director. When a good director is facing a bad phase, he never shows interest to work with him.”

On the other hand, Puri Jagannadh has already made an announcement of iSmart Shankar's sequel. The director registered the title 'Double Shankar'.
