Puri Jagannadh is one of the most renowned directors in Telugu cinema, having shaped the careers of several stars. However, in recent years, he has been struggling to deliver a solid hit. His last two films, Liger and Double iSmart, ended as massive flops at the box office, dealing a huge financial blow to the filmmaker.

These failures not only affected his reputation but also left him in deep financial trouble. Reports suggest that Puri still owes crores of rupees to several financiers. Despite these setbacks, Puri is known for making strong comebacks, and he seems to be working towards one yet again.
As per the latest buzz in the industry, he is planning a sequel to his 2010 action drama Golimaar, which starred Gopichand in the lead role. Industry insiders reveal that Puri recently met Gopichand and narrated a story idea, which the actor reportedly liked and gave his nod to.
Golimaar 2 start date
If all goes according to plan, the sequel will go on floors in June 2025, once Gopichand wraps up his current commitments. Golimaar was well-received for its gripping action sequences and intense performances in the year 2010. Gopichand played the role of a fearless cop, a character that was widely appreciated.
Veteran actress and politician Roja also played a pivotal role as the heroine's mother, and her performance was one of the film's highlights. Fans are now curious to see how Puri will shape the sequel and whether he can reclaim his lost glory.
It remains unclear whether Puri will produce the film under his banner or collaborate with another producer. More details about the project are expected to emerge soon. Stay tuned for further updates on this exciting development!
