Superstar Mahesh Babu seems to be holding his horses before signing new projects. Currently busy with his landmark 25th film, the Bharat Ane Nenu actor is yet to finalize his next film. He initially agreed to team up with Sukumar, who delivered a smashing box office hit with Rangasthalam, for his next outing. Also, he is keen to work with young directors like Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Ajay Bhupathi and Parasuram.

It is a known news that Mahesh Babu rejected a couple of scripts narrated by Sukumar. The ace director then worked on a new line with his team of assistants. Mahesh sounded optimistic and asked him to come up with full draft. Sukumar is now ready with the bound script and is waiting for Mahesh’s return from holiday.

Sources say that Mahesh will take a call on this project in a few days. If he is not happy with the full draft narrated by Sukumar, he is likely to go with one of the young directors for his next film. Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Ajay Bhupathi already met Mahesh and gave narration. On the other side, Parasuram is also working on script for him. So, all these directors are eagerly waiting for Mahesh Babu’s decision. It remains to be seen who gets the opportunity to call shots for his next project.
