Director S.J. Surya To Play Baddie In Mahesh Babu’s Next

Mahesh Babu is currently busy wrapping up his upcoming film ‘Brahmotsavam’. It is known that after finishing off the film, he will start shooting for his next with director A.R. Murugadoss. Speculations were rife that the actor will be seen clashing with one of his films’ director in this movie and the rumours have turned out to be true.

Reports suggest that director S.J. Surya, who helmed the Srimanthudu actor in ‘Naani’, will play the lead antagonist in his next. A source from the film’s unit revealed, "Surya has been finalised for the project. The makers had initially planned to rope in a Bollywood star. However, it was director Murugadoss who suggested it would be interesting to work with Surya".

Earlier, director Jayanth C. Paranji was also being linked with the role. While, the villain for the film has been finalized, the makers are yet to rope in the female lead.  Tagore Madhu will be bankrolling the yet-to-be titled venture.
