It was a double whammy for Mahesh babu.

The youngstar’s last release Athadu was a certified winner. The movie has just completed 175 days of uninterrupted run.

On the occasion of the celebrating that success (at Sudarshan theaters in Hyderabad), his next movie for the hot-shot producer M S Raju was also officially announced.So it was an occasion for double celebration for Mahesh.

The function was a grand one and his fans had a whale of a time though the actor himself was conspicuous by his absence.

Athadu’s director Trivikram Srinivas and distributors were at hand. So was producer M S Raju. The big burly man announced on the occasion that he would make a film,titled Hare Rama Hare Krishna with Mahesh. Trivikram would direct the movie.

When Raju joined forces with Mahesh last time around a little bit of history was created. Okkadu, their previous film, was one of the biggest hits ever.

So the question is will history repeat itself.
