The director will be working with the handsome actor for the first time.
AR Murugadoss is one of the most respected names and well known directors in Kollywood. The veteran director has given us blockbusters like Dheena, Ghajini and Thuppakki. Lately, he has been venturing away from K-town and moving towards Bollywood. After making a debut with the Hindi remake of Ghajini starring Aamir Khan in 2008, Murugadoss remade Thuppakki into Akshay Kumar starrer Holiday. He very recently finished his shoot for Akira which features Sonakshi Sinha, and now has his sights on Tollywood.
There is no better way to re-enter the Telugu film industry than to make a film with superstar Mahesh Babu. That’s right, the Ghajini director is now planning to work with the Prince, as Mahesh babu’s fans love to call him, as soon as Mahesh wraps up the shoot for Brahmotsavam. There is also an interesting rumour surrounding this as of yet untitled project that, this will be the most expensive Murugadoss film yet. According to a news report, the budget will be in Rs 85-90 crore range, which is a massive budget for a Telugu movie. If the report is accurate then it will mean that this project shall become the second most expensive film, falling just behind Baahubali. The other cast details, name and genre of the movie remain unknown as of now.
Other than the significant budget, this movie will also mark the re-entry of the director in Tollywood after 2006, when he made Stalin starring Chiranjeevi. Talk about coming back with a bang!
