Will Mahesh Regret For Rejecting 2 Crazy Projects?

Superstar Mahesh Babu is hoping to continue the success spree with his next film Sarkaru Vaari Paata which will be directed by Parasuram. The film’s regular shoot is expected to commence soon and as per reports the film is a family action drama with a banking scam. Keerthy Suresh plays leading lady opposite Mahesh Babu.

Mahesh Babu in his long career didn’t show much variation in his getup and mostly played routine kind of roles. Particularly his last few films Srimanthudu, Bharat Ane Nenu and Maharshi had similar shades. Sarileru Neekevvaru too showed Mahesh Babu as a regular commercial cinema hero.

Though few directors approached Mahesh Babu with different subjects which would show him in atypical roles, he rejected them as he was asked to go for a makeover and due to some other reasons.

It is known that, Sukumar initially planned to make Pushpa with Mahesh Babu. Though Mahesh Babu liked the script and even after announcement regarding the project was made, the actor cancelled it. It is learnt that, Mahesh Babu was reluctant to go complete makeover for the film. Later, the Pan India project went to Allu Arjun.

After delivering two back to back blockbusters with Arjun Reddy and its remake Kabir Singh, Sandeep Reddy Vanga planned to make his film Animal with Mahesh Babu. In fact, the director was seen with Mahesh Babu in several events. However, Mahesh Babu said no to this project as well.

We learnt that, the lead character will have different shades and Mahesh Babu asked to make many changes in the script and also hero’s characterization. But, Sandeep Reddy was against his proposal. Now, the director is making Animal with Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor.

Both the Pan India projects rejected by Mahesh Babu were prestigious ones for the respective directors. They are determined to deliver massive hits with the films. If they become blockbusters, will Mahesh Babu feel regret for rejecting them!
