Well done Puri

It’s so gladdening to note that Yuvakala Vahini had honoured Puri Jagannath with the KV Reddy award. It was probably the first award that the director got after Pokiri released. Better late than never. The man’s happiness was evident in his eyes. He didn’t forget to thank the committee for deciding on this award. “Enno guduluntayi, kaani ani gullu popular avvavu”. Yes it is true, he added that it’s because of the committee a temple becomes popular and that means he likened the committee to a temple. Puri speaks very little and when he speaks the intensity is there for you to see. As journalist Vasiraju Prakasam summed it well for him, it’s just the beginning of the victory, there is more to come.
