According
to
the
grapevine,
Mahesh
Babu
is
in
talks
with
a
Tamil
director.
He
has
recently
met
director
R
T
Neason,
who
directed
the
super
hit
film,
Jilla
in
Tamil.
This
has
led
to
many
speculations
that
Mahesh
Babu
is
reprising
the
role,
played
by
Vijay,
in
Jilla
Telugu
version.
But
sources
close
to
Mahesh,
trashed
the
reports.
However,
Mahesh
is
all
set
to
work
with
director
R
T
Neason
on
a
fresh
script.
It
is
known
that
Mahesh
Babu
has
an
aversion
for
remakes
and
he
will
never
probably
do
one.
Talking
to
a
leading
English
daily,
sources
claimed
that
Mahesh
Babu
and
Neason
film
is
on
cards.
"A
leading
production
house
has
initiated
talks
with
Neason
and
Mahesh
Babu.
Neason
is
yet
to
narrate
the
script
to
the
actor.
Only
after
Neason
meets
the
actor,
the
project
will
be
confirmed",
said
the
source.
The
film
might
also
star
Malayalam
Superstar,
Mohanlal
in
an
important
role.
"it
is
an
entirely
new
script
and
it
will
not
be
a
remake
of
Jilla.
Talks
are
on
with
Mohanlal
also
for
a
crucial
role
and
perhaps,
because
of
Lal's
involvement,
people
might
have
assumed
that
this
was
a
remake.",
the
source
added.
On
the
other
side,
Mahesh
Babu
is
currently
busy
shooting
for
Koratala
Siva's
project,
which
is
tentatively
titled
as
Srimanthudu.
Mahesh
will
be
seen
as
a
billionare
in
the
film
and
Shruti
Haasan
is
playing
the
female
lead.
