Mahesh Babu to play an army man
The superstar preps up for his role in his next film, Sarileru Neekevvaru, which is being directed by Anil Ravipudi.
After a fun European holiday, Mahesh Babu is back in the thick of things. Preparing to play an army officer for the first time in his career, Mahesh Babu has flown in an action team from Italy to make him look muscular, lean, athletic and agile as an army office should be.
Reveals a source close to Mahesh Babu, “The actor is giving the film all he’s got. The team that has flown in from Italy has put the superstar on a special diet and he’s practicing the kind of stunts he has never been seen doing before. Mahesh wants to make sure he portrays the kind of authentic army officer we get to see rarely in Indian cinema.”
Apparently the source of inspiration for Mahesh and his director Anil Ravipudi is the Bollywood war blockbuster Uri. “The aim is to better the authenticity level of Uri,” says the source. The film starts shooting from July 4 in Kashmir.
