Days after it was indicated that Puri is going Bollywood to remake Businessman, a surprising news came in. Puri will start directing Ravi Teja and Illeana and their movie has been named as Devudu Chesina Manushulu. To be produced by BVSN Prasad, the film goes on the floors from Feb. 17. From March on, it will be filmed at a stretch and it will be released in June.

Ravi Teja is quite happy to team up with Puri for the fifth time and he hopes that the film will be a clear hit. DCM is touted as a pucca mass commercial entertainer!

Prasad chipped in that he was happy to make a film in the combination of a hero like RT who has had a string of hits and Puri, who has rewrote the records history with Businessman. He is quick to add that the film is a full-fledged mass flick. The film doesn’t bear any resemblance whatsoever with the film of same title released decades ago.

Raghu Kunche has been roped in as the music director. Photography is by Shyam K Naidu. Puri is the story-screenplay-dialogue writer.
