Mahesh Babu playing a rockstar in Sukumar's next!

Superstar Mahesh Babu, who debuted in films with Raja Kumarudu in 1999, has played different kinds of roles in his acting career spanning 13 years. But he has not appeared in one particular avatar that is a rockstar. The latest we hear is that Prince is all set to rock his fans in this brand new getup in his upcoming movie, which is being directed by Sukumar.

Reports suggest that Mahesh Babu would play a rockstar in Sukumar's much-hyped movie and his character in the film will have a fresh treatment, says the director. After Kajal Aggarwal, Angela Johnson and Tamanna's rejection, the producers have roped in Kriti Sanon for the female role alongside Prince.

However, Mahesh Babu-Sukumar's combo project is being produced by Ram and Gopichand Achanta under the banner of 14 Reels Entertainment. Devi Sri Prasad is composing the music for the songs, which is going to be one of the main highlights in the film, which is currently under production.
