Love yourself Mahesh Siva’s new mantra

Known for delivering messages without being preachy, writer-turned-director Koratala Siva, who is basking in the glory of ‘Janatha Garage’ at present, would be doing something similar with his next with superstar Mahesh Babu. Sources close to the director tell us that his next, like his earlier two films, is a vast subject, but would be an unchartered territory for him.

“It’s a new line for Siva. In this day and age, people have got so busy with their jobs that they are sidelining their personal lives and concentrating more on what others think of them. The film would underline the importance of loving yourself and enjoying personal life. It would be in a realistic space but would be dealt in a humorous way,” said a source, adding that Koratala is someone who values his personal life dearly as his wife Aravinda has moulded him for good and kept him grounded despite his success.

The source added, “Mahesh has given his go-ahead in the first narration itself. In fact, his role would be a complete departure from what he has been doing of late. Koratala would be taking a break shortly, post which he will shift attention to fine-tune the script. He is keen on taking the film to floors early next year.”
