Mahesh Babu's look in AR Murugadoss' film leaked online [PHOTOS]

Mahesh Babu's look in his forthcoming movie, which is being directed by AR Murugadoss, has been revealed. A couple of photos of the actor from the sets have been leaked online.

The leak, apparently the handiwork of an insider, has not yet evoked a response from the makers. They are planning to release the first look of the film, which is presently being referred to as "Mahesh 23," around Diwali.

The next schedule of the shooting will be started in Chennai on Sept. 6. The unit of the film has reportedly planned to shoot an action sequence along with some key scenes featuring Mahesh Babu and SJ Suryah.

Mahesh Babu is teaming up with AR Murugadoss for the first time in this venture. The movie also marks the Tamil debut of the Telugu superstar. He is romancing Rakul Preet Singh in the film. The actress had joined the shooting recently. "Day 1 of shoot for ‪#‎Mahesh23 with ‪#‎ARMurugadoss sir. Super excited to b workin wd both extremely talented people. [sic]," she posted on her social media page. 

The shooting of "Mahesh 23" commenced in July. The film, which is being simultaneously shot in Tamil and Telugu languages, features cinematography by Santhosh Sivan and music by Harris Jayaraj. 

Radio jockey RJ Balaji has been signed up to play the role of a comedian in the film. He plays Mahesh Babu's friend in the movie, which is jointly produced by NV Prasad and Tagore Madhu.

The makers plan to release the film in April 2017.
