Puri wants to work with Balayya again

Ace director Puri Jagannath seems to be truly impressed with the discipline and professionalism of Nandamuri Balakrishna, while working in their upcoming film ‘Paisa Vasool’. “Given a choice, Puri would like to direct another film with Balakrishna immediately, as the wavelengths of actor and director match perfectly, when it comes to the pace of work” says a source, close the actor.

Even though, the director worked with other reigning stars like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Jr NTR, Allu Arjun and Prabhas, he still finds the 50-plus actor more committed and dedicated.

“Balakrishna arrives on sets before time, even it is an early morning shot, almost like his father - legendary actor NTR - and doesn’t waste a minute,” the source adds.

Usually, big stars like to spend time in caravans besides taking break for a fag or play cards to pass time, but Balayya gives more prominence to work, while he is on sets. “He doesn’t mind taking a power nap, under shade of a tree, but he will shout, if director doesn’t wake him up when the shot is ready. He doesn’t want the unit to wait for his sake and completes his work in time” he adds.

No prizes for guessing that Puri wants to do another film with the scion of Nandamuri family, since he can finish the film in time and save money for producers, unlike few other big stars. Not only Puri, directors from veteran director B Gopal to sensational director Boyapati Srinu, all of them are hooked to his dedication and like to work with him again and again.
