Telugu actor Mahesh Babu had earlier said that there's no chance of him making a Bollywood debut as he believes south industry is huge and can make pan-India films. But now several reports have started making the rounds of the internet that the south star will star in a popular franchise alongside Ranveer Singh. The movie will apparently be directed by Rohit Shetty.
It is being said that Sajid Nadiadwala was pretty impressed with Mahesh Babu's looks and acting skills and trying to make him a part of a popular franchise under his production banner. The reports also suggest that Sajid has approached Mahesh for the role wherein he will share screen with Ranveer Singh. However, there's no official confirmation about the said reports.
Earlier, Mahesh Babu has worked with Ranveer Singh in a commercial. And since both are good friends with each other, there might be a possibility that the two might consider starring in a film together.
