Recently, Vijay Deverakonda said that Puri Jagannadh's real creativity will be proven by 'Fighter'. The actor-director duo is pinning big hopes on this movie, which will be shot from early 2020.

The buzz is that the 'Arjun Reddy' actor is staying away from creatively involving himself with script-writing. He will not have any say in the execution either.

This is so unlike how the actor has behaved so far. 'Dear Comrade' was written and shot as per Vijay's wishes. This is not to say that he ghost-directed it. But he had quite an important say in how it was made.

'World Famous Lover', directed by Kranthi Madhav, too, falls in this category. When its First Look was unveiled recently, we saw Vijay in an inspired, angsty look. It was that way because of the actor, not the director.

'Fighter', which is going to have music by Mani Sharma, will be Puri's baby and his baby alone.
