After facing setbacks with Liger and Double Ismart, director Puri Jagannadh is gearing up for a comeback with his new film titled Beggar, starring acclaimed actor Vijay Sethupathi in the lead role. Reports suggest that the film will begin a long shooting schedule in the first week of September, with a grand set being built for the project. The set is expected to host key sequences, including the film’s climax and a solo song featuring Vijay Sethupathi. This has further fueled anticipation for the film.
Sources close to the film reveal that Vijay Sethupathi’s character will have multiple layers, including negative shades, adding a fresh dimension to the actor’s versatile range. The actor’s role is expected to feature three distinct arcs, making it a compelling performance. Puri Jagannadh is reportedly experimenting with a new approach to storytelling, marking a shift from his recent projects. The film’s premise has sparked curiosity, especially given Puri’s previous movies’ struggle to meet audience expectations in terms of content.
Puri Jagannadh’s previous directorial, Double Ismart, starring energetic star Ram Pothineni, failed to generate the positive reception the team had hoped for. Critics pointed out that the film lacked the strong content seen in Puri’s earlier works. With Beggar, Puri is expected to bring more depth and substance to his storytelling. Fans and industry watchers are eager to see how Vijay Sethupathi’s nuanced performance and Puri’s direction will come together in this new venture. The film is poised to be a crucial project for both the director and the actor.
