Lockdown effect: Mahesh asked Parasuram for new story?

There has been back and forth over Mahesh’s next for a while. After Sarileru Neekevvaru hasn’t turned out as expected, Mahesh is so keen on his next and doesn’t want to compromise on script like Sarileru where it was all done and shot in a very short time.

Now Mahesh has decided to give enough time to the director of his next. While Vamshi Paidipally was given a lot of time, he couldn’t come up with a convincing script which made Mahesh walk out of the project. And Mahesh has opted for Geetha Govindam director Parasuram.

While Parasuram had narrated a story with the aid of director Koratala Siva, Mahesh has given his go ahead. But unexpectedly, Corona Virus spread and lockdown have changed a lot of things. Whilst the initial story has significant portion set up in the United States, considering the prevailing conditions shooting a film in the US wouldn’t be reality for next 6 months to 1 year at least.

Meanwhile, Mahesh has asked Parasuram for a new story. He said to have asked Parasuram to come up with a matured love story. It’s been very longtime Mahesh did a pure love story. Whilst his previous films were message oriented, his last film Sarileru was a commercial potboiler.

So, Mahesh has decided to do a matured love story. This is indeed interesting. And Parasuram has given the task. With the existing lockdown, Parasuram may easily come up with such nice love story laced with feel good factor. Gopi Sundar has been roped in to compose music for the film who is doing for the first time with Mahesh.
