Confirmed: SS Rajamouli to direct Mahesh Babu

An interesting piece of news finally arrived straight from the horse"s mouth. It was at the audio launch function of Mahesh Babu"s Dookudu, where SS Rajamouli had expressed his wish to direct the Pokiri star. And after close to four months, the filmmaker spilled the beans of his plans of making a film with Prince at the music launch of The Businessman.

The filmmaker, addressing a huge gathering, gave enough hints about his future movie, which stars Mahesh Babu. SS Rajamouli said that he will direct the Dookudu star. However, he puzzled the audience by saying that it is up to them to decide what they want from the director and the actor. “A Cowboy film, a James Bond film, or Alluri Seetaramaraju?" he asked the audience.

However, it is believed that SS Rajamouli-Mahesh Babu"s movie might be delayed, as both are busy with their respective projects. The proposed project might take off in late 2012.
