Puri Jagannadh’s Upcoming Film Faces Reported Hurdles Over Past Dues

Director Puri Jagannadh and producer Charmme Kaur are reportedly facing financial challenges following the disappointing box-office performances of Liger and Double iSmart. Against this backdrop, reports suggest that Puri’s upcoming film Slum Dog: 33 Temple Road, starring Vijay Sethupathi, could encounter hurdles ahead of its release. Distributors who reportedly suffered losses from the earlier films are said to be seeking repayment of outstanding amounts. If the disputes remain unresolved, they could potentially complicate the release plans for the new project.

According to reports, filming and post-production work on Slum Dog: 33 Temple Road have been completed. However, the makers may need to address the reported financial disputes before announcing a release date. There is also speculation that the performance of Puri’s recent films has affected business prospects, including discussions around digital streaming and satellite rights. Resolving the issues through negotiations with distributors could therefore become important for the film’s release plans. The production team has yet to issue an official clarification, and the reported claims remain unconfirmed.
