{{/usCountry}}With the project due to go on the floors in the US post Dussehra, the makers are busy finalising the rest of the cast and crew. Recently, it was rumoured that Anil Kapoor has been approached with the offer to play the antagonist. The makers had initially held talks with Kannada actor Kichcha Sudeep for the same role. However, he couldn’t set aside dates due to his current acting assignments.
As per reports, a month-long schedule is being planned in Washington DC and the makers have already begun the visa formalities. The team will travel post Dussehra, provided the current situation doesn’t get worse.
Mahesh’s last on screen appearance was in Sarileru Neekevvaru, which was a box-office blockbuster. The film, directed by Anil Ravipudi, raked in over ₹200 crore at the box-office. Mahesh Babu played a soldier in the film who comes to a small town and saves a family from the clutches of a rowdy politician.
Mahesh recently returned to a set in September to shoot for an advertisement in Hyderabad. In a picture from the set that has surfaced online, he’s seen sporting slightly longer hair which could be for his upcoming project.
