The second look of Mahesh Babu from his upcoming movie 'Maharshi' is going to thrill the audience, the makers promise. As is known the same will be out at 6:03 pm later today (December 31). The look is meant to be a New Year eve treat for Maheshians. We are asked to "join the journey of Rishi".

Director Vamshi Paidipally has used the word appointment to meet Rishi (the name of Mahesh's character in the big-ticket entertainer). So, expect it to have a particular context.

As per sources, 'Maharshi' is going to be promoted in "innovative ways" ahead of its release on April 5 next year. With Dil Raju's Sri Venkateswara Creations, C Ashwini Dutt's Vyjayanthi Movies and PVP Cinema on board, the promotions are expected to be top-notch.

Pooja Hegde and Allari Naresh are playing female lead and supporting roles, respectively.
