Ever since his announcement about Puri's upcoming film with Varun Tej, there have been numerous gossips doing the rounds that Megastar is unhappy with Puri for not catering time for his comeback film Auto Jaani. Several articles were published nonstop about Puri's replacement as the film's director. This made Puri respond in his own style.

Rubbishing off the rumours in his typical style without even mentioning about them, Puri tweeted on his profile page, 'Just narrated 1st half to Megastar nd am happy he's thrilled..I want to work very hard to make 2nd half 10times better'. This million dollar update from the maverick director will now put an end to all the rumours and fans can now heave a huge sigh of relief.

Even in the past, rumours cropped up when Puri announced a film with Superstar Mahesh Babu. Reports said that all is not well with Puri and Megastar, who was upset with the director's enthusiasm in signing other projects without concentrating on the 150th film, for which fans have been desperately waiting for the last few years.
