Mahesh
Babu
is
currently
gearing
up
for
the
release
of
Maharshi,
one
of
the
most
eagerly-awaited
movies
of
the
year.
The
film,
directed
by
Vamshi
Paidapally,
features
'Prince'
in
a
new
avatar
which
is
its
biggest
highlight.
Once
Maharshi
hits
screens,
Mahesh
Babu
is
likely
to
begin
work
on
his
next
film
Mahesh
26.
The
movie
was
originally
supposed
to
be
directed
by
Sukumar,
however,
things
did
not
work
out
as
the
ace
director
took
too
long
to
wrap
up
the
pre-production
work.
Thereafter,
Mahesh
Babu
decided
to
join
hands
with
F2
director
Anil
Ravipudi
for
a
mass
entertainer.
The
team
reportedly
approached
Sai
Pallavi
to
play
the
female
lead,
however,
the
Fidaa
girl
turned
down
the
offer
as
she
was
upset
with
Mahesh
Babu
fans
for
trolling
her.
Thereafter,
they
approached
Rashmika
Mandanna
who
opted
out
due
to
date
issues.
Now,
it
seems
that
the
Anil
Ravipudi-Mahesh
Babu
movie
has
been
put
on
hold.
According
to
reports,
the
Raja
The
Great
director
has
decided
to
work
on
a
female-centric
film
instead
of
Mahesh
26.
The
new
project
is
likely
to
be
similar
to
Ritika
Singh's
Guru
and
might
have
a
strong
emotional
connect.
Either
way,
we
wish
Anil
Ravipudi
good
luck
and
hope
that
his
next
movie
turns
out
to
be
a
hit.
