Puri Jagannadh is an Indian film director, screenwriter and producer, who works primarily in Telugu cinema. He began his film career assisting Ram Gopal Varma on Shiva (1990), gaining insights into raw, urban storytelling before directing his debut Badri (2000). From there, he built a reputation for high voltage commercial cinema. Notable films include Idiot (2002), Amma Nanna O Tamila Ammayi (2003), Pokiri (2006), Desamuduru (2007), Bujjigadu (2008), Businessman (2012), Temper (2015) and iSmart Shankar (2019).
