After the present assignment, Mahesh is going to play hero in 'Mirchi' (this title is yet to be confirmed by the film unit officially), produced by Dr KL Narayana on the banner of Durga Arts introducing Jasti Hemambaradhara Rao as director.

However, the film circles are in hot debate as to who would be the heroine to pair up with the Prince in this film. Three names are prominently heard.

They are Nayanatara, Hansika Motwani and the third one is Deepika Padukone. While the first two are well known among the Telugu audiences, the third one is a new comer.

Hence, the Film Nagar sources are of the strong opinion that Deepika might bag a chance in the film. Let us wait and watch whom the Prince selects as heroine.
