'Maharshi' is one of the most-awaited flicks of the year. Director Vamshi Paidipally is equipped with a "strong" story he has co-written with the Hari-Solomon duo. Three time frames are there in the movie. During college days, Mahesh Babu's character, named Rishi, befriends the characters played by Allari Naresh and Pooja Hegde. What happens next is to be seen.

As per some recent speculations in the Film Nagar circles, Naresh's character dies owing to his gutsy activism related to farm issues. Obviously, he is killed by a corporate shark who sells seeds, etc at exorbitant prices.

It's then that Mahesh, himself a capitalist, renounces everything and moves to the village where his best friend lived. Naresh's cause becomes Mahesh's from this moment.

While the above has been said for some days now, the latest speculative reports suggest that there is no truth in the buzz.

We will know the truth only on May 9.
