Director Puri Jagannath, who is enjoying the success of his debut Hindi film ‘Bbuddah’ hoga tere baap’ has announced that, soon he will remake this film into Telugu. But, he didn’t mention any actor’s name for this movie. Right now, he has to start his next movie ‘The Businessman’ with Mahesh babu. Later, he has commitment for his 2nd movie with Abhishek Bachchan. He also promised to direct Chiranjeevi’s 150th movie. But, neither of them has made any commitments about starting the movie.
Since, remaking of ‘Bbuddah’ movie and directing Abhishek Bachchan’s movie is in his hands Puri may utilize the rare opportunity of directing Chiranjeevi’s movie as his 1st preference. The other reason to take-up Chiranjeevi’s movie is the instability of Chiranjeevi’s plans. Puri has to start this movie as early as possible, before he changes his mind about acting in the movies.
In the mean time he may choose the team for this remake film and engage them on preproduction works. Hope, soon he will announce the dates of this Mega movie.

2011/7/10 23:42:02 After successfully directing his first Hindi movie ‘Bbuddah’ with Amitabh Bachchan, its director Puri Jagannath also seems to become an old man.

Making movies means is just selling our ideas. If, one gets a chance anywhere he/she shouldn’t leave the opportunity, whether it is Bollywood or Hollywood or Tollywood. Charmi and Subba Raju have been successfully introduced to Bollywood with this Bbuddah movie. Many in Bollywood who were impressed with their acting skills and their style are enquiring about them now and some even trying to introduce them to Ram Gopal Varma, as they are unaware that they both hails from Tollywood. When, Subba Raju is telling his dialogues in Hindi, people around were amused with his language and pronunciation, just like we enjoy Sayaji Shinde’s Telugu style.”

"Finally it's confirmed...me and Puri Jagannath together are making the remake of the blockbuster Telugu hit 'Businessman' with Abhishek Bachchan," Varma tweeted.
Jagannath has also written and directed the original movie, which starred Mahesh Babu and Kajal Agarwal in the lead roles.
Varma is currently working on "Department" where southern star Rana Daggubati will be seen as a grungy policeman - a role that was earlier reserved for Abhishek Bachchan.
Prince Mahesh babu and Kajal Agarwal starrer movie 'Businessman' audio which is slated to release on 23rd December is advanced to December 18th. The three versions of audio-Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam will be released from the same platform at Hyderabad on December 18th.

The highlight of this film is Mahesh babu and Puri Jagannath are singing a song for this movie.

Puri has declared that he is going to introduce Mahesh babu to Bollywood with the remake of this film into Hindi. But, this project may go to sets in June or July next year, as Puri and Mahesh babu have other commitments.
The superstar creates a new record by singing the title track of his forthcoming film ‘Bbuddah – Hoga Terra Baap’ in ‘Acapella’ style – a first ever in India!
For those who are new to the concept, Acapella music is a solo or a group vocal or singing without any instrumental sound. Interestingly, Music directors Vishal – Shekhar had been planning to do something unique with Mr Bachchan since quite sometime and they came up with the idea of using the acapella style to create a memorable number for ‘Bbuddah’. When the duo approached Mr Bachchan with this suggestion, they were in for a pleasant surprise when the actor immediately agreed to do it!
Music director, Shekhar Ravjiani, elaborated, “We wanted to try something new with this song. We did the basic setup and then Mr. Bachchan replaced every track with his voice. Mr. He recreated the sounds of approximately 10 to 12 instruments, from drum to bass to the snare to the chorus. In a nut shell, he did everything required to make a song!”
A source from the film says, “Given Mr. Bachchan’s multi-talented persona, it is no surprise that he took this challenge up very sportingly and was very excited about doing something new. He gave his best and the result is for everyone to see. Every sound you hear in the title track is created by Mr Bachchan himself! This is the first time that the ‘Acapella’ style of singing has been used in Indian cinema and we owe it to Mr. Bachchan for introducing us to something so unique!”
Well, the powerhouse that he is, Mr. Bachchan raises the bar higher every single time he tries his hand at absolutely anything!
Produced by Viacom18 & AB Corp, ‘Bbuddah – Hoga Terra Baap’ is written & directed by Puri Jagannadh and also stars Hema Malini, Raveena Tandon, Sonu Sood, Sonal Chauhan, Southern actress Charmi & South Indian baddie Prakash Raj.
Chiranjeevi may not have succeeded in politics but he is a shrewd actor and can play politics to suit his needs.
Chiranjeevi used director Puri Jagannath and Ram Gopal Varma to serve his deed and help him from embarrassment for his flip-flop.
Chiranjeevi in a slip of tongue said the other day that he was quitting film for ever. He later realized how grave a mistake he had committed. So he got some fans to stage dharna at his residence asking him to reconsider his decision.
Chiranjeevi also used the occasion of the special premiere show at IMAX of the Amitabh Bachchan starrer film Bbuddah to find a face saving formula.
Chiranjeevi asked Puri and Ram Gopal Varma to tell Amitabh to publicly ask Chiranjeevi not to quit acting.
The Big B obliged and a ‘victorious’ Chiranjeevi gleefully announced that he was taking back his decsison as none other than the Big B had asked him to do so! That is Chiranjeevi!
