Around a month ago, Tollywood’s most flamboyant and chilled out director Puri Jagannadh made headlines when he revamped his ‘Cave’ by removing most of his staff, including his Assistant Directors who have been working with him for years. Puri reasoned that his team members stopped listening to him due to the closeness factor.

Puri then took some time for introspection and also to find his new team. As per the latest buzz, the dashing director roped in a young hero as his assistant and he is none other than his son Akash Puri as one of his ADs.

Akash is already working on the sets of his father’s ongoing film, Rogue, and learning the tricks of the trade. It is well known that Akash made a forgettable debut with the teenage romantic drama, Andhra Pori, last year. The young hero also has an immense experience as a child actor.

Post the debacle of his debut film as a hero, Akash vowed to take a 3-year break before he again returns to the silver screen. Some of the biggest stars like Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor etc started off their careers as assistant directors, which helped them in understanding the nuances of filmmaking. No doubt that the father-son duo has taken the right decision.
