Jaggesh to become director?

Comedian Jaggesh, fresh from the success of 'Eddelu Manjunatha', plans to take up direction, say our sources.

The actor, while speaking at the success meet of ‘Eddelu Manjunatha’, said that it was a long dream of his to direct a film. "But, all these years, I was busy in acting as well as politics. So, I couldn't find enough time to jump into direction. Now it looks like the time is ripe for me to direct a film. I have discussed a few ideas with my son and I think, I will soon decide on what to do," said Jaggesh.

Sources say that Jaggesh is also upset with 'Eddelu Manjunatha' director Guru Prasad who accused him of delaying the film. To avoid such things in the future, the actor seems to have made up his mind to turn a director.

A few years ago, Jaggesh had turned producer by launching Jaggesh Chitra and producing 'Makeup' under the direction of veteran director Singeetham Srinivasa Rao.
