Puri Jagannadh – Charmi Relationship: Famous Tollywood director Puri Jagannadh has delivered several superhit films and earned a solid reputation in the industry. From Mahesh Babu to Ram Pothineni, he has given blockbuster hits to many top stars. However, in recent years, Puri has been waiting for a big success. His latest film, Double iSmart, also failed to meet expectations, and reports suggest that several actors are now hesitant to work with him.
The Photo That Sparked Rumors Again:
At this time, Kollywood star Vijay Sethupathi announced a film with Puri Jagannadh. The team initially planned to release the title and teaser on Vijay’s birthday, but they postponed it following the stampede tragedy in Tamil Nadu. Recently, Puri shared a photo on social media introducing Harshavardhan Rameswar, the music director of Arjun Reddy and Animal, as the composer for the film. Interestingly, Charmi also appeared in that photo, which quickly went viral. As rumors about their relationship resurfaced, netizens began commenting things like “Something Something.”

Puri’s Strong Response:
Charmi continues to be Puri’s business partner under their production house, Puri Connects, which is also producing Vijay Sethupathi’s upcoming film. Yet, gossip about their bond keeps circulating. Responding strongly to these rumors, Puri said, “If I’m seen with a 50-year-old or overweight woman, no one has a problem. Even if she’s married, it’s fine. But when it’s Charmi, who’s young and unmarried, everyone assumes there’s something between us. Change your mindset.”
A Tomboy Who Works Like an Ox:
Puri further added, “Superficial attractions don’t last. Only friendship does. I’ve known Charmi since she was 13, and we’ve worked together for nearly 20 years. She always wanted to become a producer and shared that dream with me ten years ago. She works hard like a man, a real tomboy who works like an ox.” Overall, Puri and Charmi’s unbreakable friendship continues to thrive despite rumors and setbacks. Whether the gossip around them will ever end remains to be seen.
