Only in December last, the Mahesh Babu-Koratala Shiva movie hitting the screens in September seemed a real possibility. The movie was expected to go to sets in February or before mid-March in the worst case. It was almost said that Sept 22 is the probable release date of the movie. That was when the AR Murugadoss-Mahesh behemoth was said to be readying up for April.

Alas! That was not to be.

Mahesh's Telugu-Tamil bilingual with ARM will hit the screens only in June. Meanwhile, the superstar won't be available for shooting with his 'Srimanthudu' director any time soon.

In this scenario, the movie is expected to go on the floors only in May.

All this has changed the calculations. The September slot is now of the Puri Jagannadh-Balakrishna duo!
