Mahesh Babu is one of the highest paid stars in South India and he leads many other actors in this area. But he doesn’t seem too content about that.

According to reliable reports, he has increased his price once again and he is said to be quoting a figure in excess of 20 crores for his forthcoming projects. Apparently, Mahesh is justifying this hike by pointing out his decision of expanding strongly into the Tamil market.

Mahesh Babu’s wife Namratha is said to be the main motivation behind this price hike and as always, she is negotiating things on behalf of Mahesh Babu. At a time when producers and distributors are reeling from grossly inflated and unrealistic budgets, this kind of a hike from Mahesh Babu will only make things tougher for the producer.
