Super Star Mahesh Babu is known for his friendly and jovial nature. Once he commits he ensures that he completes the project going out of his way to help talented filmmakers. When reports came out that Mahesh is teaming up with Sukumar, everyone got excited as Sukumar recently showed his talent by presenting a non Baahubali hit with Rangasthalam that starred Mega Power Star Ram Charan.
Sukumar who got super thrilled with Mahesh Babu giving him opportunity once again, tried to work hard to erase the sour memories of 1-Nenokkadine, the psychological thriller which won the appreciation of the critics but failed to connect chords with the movie lovers.
Many waited for the film's regular shoot as rumors spread about the storyline. First it was rumored that Sukumar planned to show Mahesh as a warrior fighting against the razakars in Nizam rule in a period entertainer. Next it was rumored that since Mahesh had reservations to don the role, Sukumar came up with a thriller based on red sanders smugglers.
In the midst of all this Mahesh gave a huge shock by announcing the shelving of this project with Sukumar. Many are wondering why Mahesh gave such a huge shock. It is known that Mahesh feeling that Sukumar is taking lot of time in readying the story and the script, asked Anil Ravipudi to ready a commercial entertainer. The project took off at supersonic pace as Anil already had a readymade story.
Sukumar who felt that his project may get delayed further, in order to start his project ahead of Anil Ravipudi's with Mahesh, released a statement that he already has his next lined up with Stylish Star Allu Arjun.
Sukumar was under the impression that Mahesh would take his project ahead of Anil Ravipudi. But Mahesh's ego got hurt and at once came with an official statement that the project was cancelled leaving all shell-shocked. Now Sukumar had no option to wait for eight months till Allu Arjun wraps up his next with Trivikram Srinivas. Sukumar's plans to corner Mahesh boomeranged on him.
