Mahesh prefers Anil to Boyapati?

Actually, superstar Mahesh Babu has assured to do a film for leading producer Anil Sunkara for the last two years. After discussing various big names, Anil suggested the name of Boyapati Srinu and Mahesh reportedly gave his nod last year. "But the massive success of 'F2' changed all the equations and Mahesh preferred to work with Anil Ravipudi over Boyapati Srinu.

Producer Sunkara paid a hefty sum in advance and signed up Anil Ravipudi a few months ago,"says an industry source and adds "Mahesh also liked the preparedness of Anil Ravipudi, who had a full-bound script ready, and being the season of fun-centric entertainers, Mahesh assured to begin this film immediately.

Anil Sunkara has opened a new office and script work is going on at a break-neck speed," the source adds. May be, the 'Srimanthudu' star will work with Boyapati Srinu sometime later, but Anil arrived at the right time with a blockbuster and clinched a movie with one of the most-happening-stars in T'wood.

In fact, Anil Sunkara is always fascinated with 'entertainers' and hence, everything fell in place, whereas, for Mahesh its a 'laugh-riot' after a gap of few years.
