We have already published a news report that Maheshbabu is playing under the direction of Krish and the film is likely to be titled as Sivam, which is being produced by Aswanidutt on the banner of Vyjayanti Movies as a prestigious project with a heavy budget. Now the latest buzz from the Filmnagar is that popular Bollywood heroine Sonakshi Sinha was selected as heroine opposite Maheshbabu in this movie.

Though none of the information is officially confirmed by the production works gossips are making rounds that the film would hit the floors in the first half of next year. Krish's latest film with Rana 'Krishnam Vande Jadgurum' gave him a break as a commercial director. Presently Maheshbabu is busy with the multi-starrer 'Sitamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu' and another film in the direction of Sukumar.

Sonakshi Sinha became a star overnight with the successful films like 'Dabang, Rowdy Rathore and Son of Sardaar' recently. 'Sivam' would be her debut film in a south Indian language movie.
