Mahesh Babu’s combination with Krish for a new film of ‘Shivam’ is definitely sensational to hear because Mahesh is a Super Star with immense Fan following while Krish is considered as a master story teller with intellectual concepts imbibed in his script nicely. In fact, Mahesh never tried such directors in his career till date and this would be an experimental flick if attempted. Aswini Dutt of Vyjayanthi Films is ready to shell out whopping budget to make ‘Shivam’ a reality.
Problem was with call sheets of Mahesh who was quite busy with ‘1 Nenokkadine’ in Sukumar’s direction already on sets and ‘Aagadu’ of Srinu Vytla to begin in August. Then Vamsy Paidipally also announced his next with Mahesh to start from January of next year. So, Krish has wisely postponed ‘Shivam’ to next year May. ‘Yes, we will start the film only in May next and I have to direct Akshay Kumar in ‘Tagore’ remake for producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali,’ as said by Krish.
