If reports are to be believed, actor Mahesh Babu will most likely be seen in a key role in Chiranjeevi's upcoming yet-untitled Telugu film. Babu will be seen in a powerful cameo of a student leader in the social drama. While the actor is yet to officially sign on the dotted line, he will be seen for 30 minutes in the flashback portion of the film.
The role was reportedly to be played by Ram Charan. However, since he is occupied with the shoot of SS Rajamouli's 'RRR', and did not have time till he completes the shoot, forcing the makers to approach Babu instead. The movie will feature Chiranjeevi in dual roles. It will be about middle-aged Naxalite-turned-social reformer who launches a fight against the Endowments Department over misappropriation and embezzlement of temple funds and donations. The project was officially launched last October. It is expected to go on the floors from March.
Set to be jointly produced by Konidela Production Company and Matinee Entertainments, the film marks the maiden collaboration of Chiranjeevi and Koratala Siva. The makers are reportedly spending £14 million on the project.
