A few months ago, we have informed you that Krish had approached Mahesh Babu with a wonderful script. But it was not clear whether the Dookudu star gave nod to act in the Telugu film. However, now the sources have said that the actor has given the green signal. In fact Ashwini Dutt has come forward to produce the project.

The makers of the film have roped in MM Keeravani, who will be scoring music for Mahesh Babu's film for the first time and Thiru has been signed to handle the camera. However, the project will be delayed, as the Telugu superstar is busy with other projects like The Businessman and Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu.

The forthcoming Telugu movie will be launched on August 9, 2012 on the occasion of Mahesh Babu's birthday.
