Gautham Menon will be directing a Telugu film featuring Mahesh Babu. The film that is yet to be titled, is expected to be an action-packed entertainer in which the star Mahesh Babu would play the role of an encounter cop.

Gautham had earlier directed 'Gharsana', the Telugu remake of 'Khaaka Khaaka' starring Venkatesh in the lead.

Meanwhile, the popular director of Tamil cinema has completed 'Vaaranam Ayiram' starring Suriya and would commence his next starring Ajith and Sameera Reddy from this November.

Sources close to Gautham Menon said his movie with Ajith would be a racy film but not the typical of Goutham Menon's style. It would be quite different from the run-of-the-mill stuff."
