Abhishek Bachchan out, Mahesh Babu in - Business Man
- IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,January 04 2012]
Finally the screen Âbusiness deal has been shifted to Telugu star Mahesh Babu, which was earlier signed with Abhishek Bachchan . We are talking about the Hindi version of director Puri Jagannath's ÂBusiness Man that has gone for the replacement of late.
Post release of Amitabh Bachchan starrer ÂBbuddah Hoga Terra BaapÂ, news had been that the filmÂs director is going to work with the megastarÂs son Abhishek. It was then said that the film ÂBusiness Man will have Mahesh Babu in Telugu while Abhishek in Hindi.
Now that the Telugu version is slated to release next week, latest development has it that the helmer has opted for Mahesh for the Hindi project as well, instead of Jr.B.
According to sources, Puri feels that Abhishek doesnÂt have enough fire that the movie demands. ÂAfter looking at Abhishek's recent track record, we realised it won't be in favour of the film, quoted the director to sources. ÂBusiness Man revolves around a gangster who treats his profession as an organized business.
Another reason is that, after the release of ÂBbuddah  Puri faced unsatisfying response from the filmÂs co-producing banner, AB Corp, regarding contract issues. However the director maintains that although he is still an ardent fan of Big B, he had bad experience post the filmÂs release.
As of now the only problem is that Mahesh is not fluent in Hindi; however Puri shows no qualms about it and believes that the Tollywood starÂs immense popularity will help to solve the issue.
LetÂs wait and watch what happens nextÂ
