Mahesh Babu's Aagadu follows Koratala film

The Mahesh-Siva film will go on floors in July which is deemed as a commercial entertainer that will appeal to Mahesh's fans.

The project was announced last year, but the shooting hasn't commenced yet, as Mahesh is busy with "Aagadu," directed by Srinu Vaitla. Now, it has been confirmed that the Telugu superstar will begin the shooting of the Koratala Siva directorial in July.

The untitled project will be Siva's second outing post the stupendous success of "Mirchi," starring Prabhas and Anushka Shetty. "I am very excited about this project as I am getting a chance to direct superstar Mahesh Babu in my second film. The subject will perfectly suit the actor and enthrall the audiences, especially his fans," Siva was quoted as saying by Deccan Chronicle.

Initally, UTV Motion Pictures was supposed to produce the project. But now Mythri Movies will be producing it.

Music director Devi Sri Prasad will be composing the songs for the yet-to-be-titled flick. However, details about the film's cast and crew members are yet to be revealed. There is a buzz that the makers are planning to rope in Shruti Haasan for the female lead role, but there is no official confirmation on the same. If Shruti is indeed cast opposite Mahesh, it will be her first project with the superstar.
