Visibly angered by the humiliation and distress caused in public following the interrogation by police in drugs case and also the widespread media scrutiny, director Puri Jagannath has announced to revive his ambitious project ‘Jana Gana Mana’, allegedly to highlight the society’s mindset towards certain issues.

It may be recalled that Puri announced ‘Jana Gana Mana’ with Mahesh in early 2016. The project however didn’t materialize as the actor got busy with other films keeping Puri in waiting list. Puri had even vent his irritation on Mahesh in a media interview.

In the aftermath of him being projected as the main accused in the ‘Drugs case’, Puri has announced that making ‘Jana Gana Mana’ has now become his life ambition. “The script will highlight around 100 issues in the country, including the drug menace,” Puri revealed.

“‘I Love India, I Hate Indians’ is the tagline of my film, and you will understand the reason behind the tagline after watching the film. I am determined to make this issue-based film as I love my country and I feel social responsibility as an Indian. Those who are pointing fingers at me can’t make a film like ‘Jana Gana Mana’,’ Puri added.

Puri is known for satirical presentation of society’s perception towards certain aspects through his films. The tagline of Jana Gana Mana suggests that the film is intended to ridicule society, and it would be no less than a sensation from Puri.
