Mahesh Babu is continuing as the Superstar of Telugu Cinema irrespective of hits and flops. He is also the Star who is endorsing maximum number of brands. Mahesh Babu ventured into business with AMB Cinemas. He also established a production house named as G Mahesh Babu Entertainment for which his Wife Namrata is the Managing Director. This Banner has already begun producing ‘Major’ starring Adivi Sesh in association with Sony Pictures International.
Even before the shoot of ‘Major’ was kickstarted, Mahesh Babu okayed a crazy project. None other than Vijay Devarakonda could be doing this movie. ‘Arjun Reddy’ Director Sandeep Vanga might direct it.
Actually, Mahesh Babu and Sandeep Vanga held talks after ‘Arjun Reddy’. There were speculations that Mahesh will play the role of a Mechanic and Kajal is going to be the female lead. However, That project hasn’t materialised at all. As a script narrated by Sandeep Vanga impressed Mahesh, Vijay Devarakonda was roped to play the male lead. While promoting ‘Maharshi’, Mahesh Babu told, ‘I wish to encourage good talent. If I like the story but can’t do that film, I am willing to cast any other hero and produce it’. May be, That’s why Vijay Devarakonda was roped. The presence of Rowdy at the pre-release event of ‘Maharshi’ could be an indication.
