Tamil actor Bharath is the new entrant into the cast of Mahesh Babu's forthcoming movie, which is written and directed by AR Murugadoss. He will be seen in the negative role in the flick, which is simultaneously being made in Tamil and Telugu.

Confirming the news, Bharath told the Times of India that AR Murugadoss recently narrated the story to him and he was impressed by the story. It has to be noted that the actor will be doing the negative role after 2004's romance drama Chellamae.

"The way he has written my character is very interesting. Even though SJ Suryah is also playing a negative role in this film, mine would also be a solid role, I've been told. Also, this is a big set-up and I am really glad that I am getting to do this film. I just finished shooting some portions of my role in Ahmedabad. We will be shooting in Pune, Bangkok and Hyderabad in the coming months" the daily quoted Bharath as saying.

Talking about working with Mahesh Babu, Bharath says that he is a warm person and was very friendly during the shoot.

Meanwhile, rumours are doing rounds that the makers have locked in Sambhavami as the title of the film. But the makers are tight-lipped about the name and they are yet to formally announce the news.

Currently, the shooting of the film is happening at a brisk pace in Gujarat following which the team will head to Dubai and then return to Hyderabad to shoot other important sequences.

The movie, which will release in April 2017, has Harris Jayaraj's music and Santhosh Sivan's cinematography.
