Boyapati with Mahesh Babu? Let’s assess the chances

In one of his interviews to promote ‘Vinaya Vidheya Rama’, Boyapati Srinu has reportedly stated that he will team up with Mahesh Babu in the future.  He has not given any definite time for the collaboration.  The director is scheduled to make a film with Nandamuri Balakrishna from next month.  Can it be expected that his project with Mahesh will be the immediate next after the Balayya movie?

Chances are almost nil.  Mahesh will start shooting for Sukumar’s flick after he wraps up ‘Maharshi’.  Later on, he is most likely to work with ‘Arjun Reddy’ director Sandeep Vanga, who is in complete form.  The versatile actor is most likely to work with Koratala Siva, Trivirkam Srinivas or even Rajamouli (one of the three) after that movie.  

It’s routine for directors to answer ‘Is it true you are going to work with that hero?’ questions with a ‘Yes’.  They too know that some projects are years away.
