Director AR Murugadoss is busy directing Mahesh Babu in a bilingual, titled Shambavami. The shooting of the film is progressing and the team was recently spotted in Ahmedabad filming some crucial scenes. According to the latest buzz, a prominent Tamil hero has joined the cast and scenes involving him were shot in the city a few days ago.

Reports confirm that Bharath, who made his debut with the Shankar directorial Boys, will be seen as the villain in the film. Bharath’s performance in films like Chellame and Kadhal won him accolades and helped elevate his star status.

Incidentally, another noted director and actor SJ Suryah has also been roped in to play the baddie in the bilingual. Rakul Preet Singh is paired opposite Mahesh Babu in this flick. It is worth mentioning here that Shambavami will be Mahesh Babu’s first Tamil film. To be released in mid-2017, the film has music by Harris Jayaraj, camera by Santosh Sivan and editing by Sreekar Prasad.
