In his interview to IndiaGlitz, Gopi Mohan, the story-writer of Dookudu, has revealed that Mahesh Babu wants to do a full-fledged love story because he has not acted in such a genre for long time now. Before Gopi Mohan and Sreenu Vaitla arrived at the idea of Dookudu, Mahesh was offered a romantic story. That was, when Vaitla too was curious to do a full-on love story because it had been long since he did one after Anandam and Sontham.

However, things did not go as per the plan. Gopi said,"We felt that the script lacked the elements like action. Also, the producers wanted the story to have its share of action. After much rumination and discussions, we arrived at the idea of Dookudu."

This only goes to show that Mahesh would like to do a breezy entertainer like Rajakumarudu if he is offered a good script.

It seems that Mahesh is willing to do something different instead of going for action-oriented roles. Much like Charan who did Orange after Magadheera, Mahesh wants to become a chocolate boy after playing gutsy roles. Any takers?
