The principal shooting of superstar Mahesh Babu’s next outing, Bharath Ane Nenu, with Srimanthudu director Koratala Siva will commence from next month.
With the pre-production work in full swing, the makers have already begun major set work and are in the process of finalising the cast.
Mahesh Babu will be seen playing a Chief Minister and he will be paired with Kiara Advani, last seen in the Dhoni biopic.
The latest addition to the cast is Tamil actor Sarath Kumar, who will be playing Mahesh’s father in the film.
Although Sarath has starred in a few Telugu films over the years, this will be a huge project in his career.
According to reliable sources, his role will be very crucial from the story’s perspective. This is the second Tamil actor Siva is using in his films after Sathyaraj, who played Prabhas’s father in Mirchi.
Meanwhile, the makers are working on a large Legislative Assembly set to shoot crucial portions of the film. It has also been learnt that the makers are keen on giving Mahesh a makeover and are currently contemplating a new look.
Mahesh is currently wrapping up A.R Murugadoss’s Spyder, and after taking a brief break, he will commence work on Siva’s project. The project will mark the second time collaboration of Mahesh and Siva, whose last film Janatha Garage was a blockbuster.
