After scoring a huge blockbuster with Srimanthudu last year, Mahesh Babu and Koratala Siva will be teaming up once again after they wrap up their immediate projects. This crazy combo is expected to begin their film early next year.
Initially, the Mahesh-Koratala project was never in the pipeline as Koratala was supposed to direct Ram Charan in DVV Danayya's production, while Mahesh was supposed to join hands with Puri Jagannadh for Jana Gana Mana after Murugadoss' film.
With Ram Charan deciding to go ahead with Sukumar for his next, Koratala was left with no star hero. Then came Mahesh's wife Namrata into the picture. This former heroine, with her shrewd intelligence, is said to have turned tables overnight and ensured that Koratala would direct Mahesh as his immediate project.
Namrata thought it would be better if Mahesh teams up with a commercially better director like Koratala than the unreliable Puri Jagannadh. She planned her moves tactically and made sure that Mahesh's next project would be for DVV Danayya, the same producer who was supposed to produce Koratala's immediate next. That's some strategy indeed!
