Superstar Mahesh Babu was supposed to work with director Puri Jagannadh for a new movie. The discussions are going on for long but nothing has been materialized. However, it is learnt that the project would go onto the sets soon after Mahesh wraps up Brahmotsavam and an untitled project with AR Murugadoss. The film will be made on a whopping budget and will also feature a Hollywood actor as the other lead.

Confirming the news Puri said, “I will definitely direct a film with Mahesh. Currently, he is busy with other projects and it will take some time for us to take the film onto the floors. An international star will share the screen space with Mahesh in this big-budget extravaganza. I am working on the script.”

Puri also stated that the film is not titled Tapori. Puri and Mahesh have earlier delivered path breaking hits like Pokiri and Businessman and if the project falls in place, then it would be their third outing together.
