Writer, director Koratala Siva’s new project Bharat Ane Nenu starring Mahesh Babu in Chief Minister’s character is making awesome buzz in film circles. Apparently, the project is still to go on active shoot schedules due to Mahesh being occupied with Spyder. Meantime, Koratala is finalizing the artist casting for crucial characters.
Going by Film Nagar reports, senior most Tamil hero Sarath Kumar is being approached to play Mahesh Babu’s father character and also got his nod. Like Sathya Raj in Mirchi, Jagapathi Babu in Srimanthudu and Mohan Lal in Janatha Garage, every directorial from Koratala has a typical elderly character living its mark.
For Bharath Ane Nenu, the star director is set to repeat the same formula and a powerful father character is penned. After few rounds of negotiations, Mahesh and the production team zeroed on Sarath Kumar as the apt choice. Long back, Sarath Kumar played similar roles in Telugu but gradually went off the radar and his last Telugu release is Neno Rakam.
