It is difficult to say which of these two is quicker: Puri Jagannadh's knack for signing big heroes or two shakes of a lamb's tail. Whatever, the fact that he will work on not one, two or three, but four films in this very year (though one or two releases might happen only in 2013), bears testimony to his quick-witted talent and energy. (Rajamouli might have to lesson his wife harangue him more than ever this year!)

The pursuit of every prudent businessman (that is, producer) in the industry today is the man of the moment: Mr. Puri. Here goes the list of his four big films. Come March, he will start Devudu Chesina Manasulu, starring Ravi Teja and Illeana.

Come May, he will direct the Power Star. Coming as it does more than a decade since Badri, there will be lot of hoopla around it. Just the announcement of the title will be feverishly awaited.

He has a film with NTR. This will start from August. To be produced by Bandla Ganesh, this one might well shake the BO. After all, the Andhrawala nightmare has to be deceived once and for all.

Wait, what about Mahesh's dream of working with Puri yet again? The Prince's wish will come true by the year end. The sequel to Businessman, too, is on the top of our director's mind.
