Director Puri Jagannadh, known for his flamboyant filmmaking style, has announced a new project titled Beggar, featuring acclaimed actor Vijay Sethupathi in the lead. The announcement comes after the underwhelming performance of his recent films Liger and Double iSmart.
According to industry insiders, Beggar will be a departure from Puri’s typical storytelling and is expected to stand out as a milestone in his career. Sources reveal that Vijay Sethupathi’s character in the film will be presented in three different shades, adding to the intrigue surrounding the project.
Despite high expectations, Puri’s recent outing Double iSmart, starring Ram Pothineni, failed to garner the desired critical or commercial response, with many pointing out the lack of strong content. Against this backdrop, Beggar is being seen as a reinvention for the director, with a fresh narrative and character depth tailored for Sethupathi’s versatility.
More details about the cast, production, and release are expected to be announced soon.
