As per media reports, Anil Ravipudi has impressed Mahesh Babu with his story. Tharun Bhascker did much the same recently, other reports add. Somewhere, some time ago, a third filmmaker must have created excitement in the superstar's mind with his script. The question is, how many directors are subjecting Mahesh Babu to bouts of excitement these days?

Different media reports are allocating good many projects to the 'Maharshi' star even before his next film releases on April 25 and at a time when Sukumar is set to direct him later this year. (Note: The assumption is that the 'Rangasthalm' director is not yet ready with final version of script and so, Mahesh may not take up this project immediately after 'Maharshi').

If the projects that the unverified reports are talking about fructify, Mahesh would be doing films non-stop for the next half of a decade. The names of Sandeep Vanga ('Arjun Reddy' fame), Trivikram Srinivas, Boyapati Srinu and even Puri Jagannadh's name has been heard in the context of Mahesh just in recent times. One thing is for sure. Tomorrow, we will hear one more director's name.
