Mahesh Babu Rejected Varasudu?
Mahesh Babu was the first choice for the film, Varasudu. Vamshi Paidipally first narrated the script to the actor Mahesh but the latter didn’t green-light it.
Mahesh had already been under pressure from fans not to do family movies with a CEO theme. So, he didn’t accept this project despite multiple efforts from Vamshi.
The director then took the script to Vijay and the Tamil hero readily signed it and that is how the film happened.
Mahesh would’ve been under more scrutiny had he done a formulaic family movie like Varasudu and the actor cleverly avoided it by saying no right at first.
Mahesh will soon be seen in Trivikram’s project SSMB28 which will be his immediate next release. Post which, the actor will be collaborating with Rajamouli for SSMB29.
