There was talk that Maniratnam was planning to do a movie with Mahesh Babu. They had discussions and wanted to go for a straight Telugu movie.
But after that, the talks failed and they did not come together. Mahesh is busy with several movies and Mani Ratnam is also busy with movies in other languages.
Right now Mani Ratnam admitted that he wanted to do a movie with Mahesh. But the story is the king he said. A suitable story for Mahesh should be in the place he opined.
The story must demand Mahesh and not a story for the sake of Mahesh he explained. Mani did not confirm a movie with Mahesh, but he is wanting to do a movie in Telugu.
Mani is right now scouting for the right story for the Telugu audience and then doing the story with Mahesh is a different option. Let’s hope this will materialise soon.
It has been a long time that the Telugu audience got the opportunity to see a straight movie from Maniratnam for the Telugu audience.
