Mahesh Babu's scheduled project with Sukumar is falling apart, media reports are saying. The superstar's film with the 'Rangasthalam' director is in limbo because the actor is not convinced with what the writing department has scripted.

But aren't there chances for this project to come back to life in a couple of months or so after it's rewritten to suit Mahesh's preferences? Going by Mahesh Babu's moves, the actor doesn't seem to think so. Post the release of 'Maharshi', he could start doing a film with Anil Ravipudi, who is working with a jet speed perhaps.

If Sukumar doesn't get his act together in time, he may have to wait longer than expected to direct his '1: Nenokkadine' actor. After delivering the biggest non-Baahubali hit, it's ironical that Sukumar is set to lose a chance to direct Mahesh.
