The Businessman is a film which will be the biggest reference to a Mahesh-Puri film from the day it releases. Asserting this, Puri Jagannadh said that Pokiri will be relegated to the second position and The Businessman will occupy its place. Slated to release on 12 January 2012, the film is currently being shot in Mumbai.

The director says that when guns do the bidding for you, there is no need for agreements and such customary formalities. Action and entertainment - these are the words he uses, apart from the 'gun' line, to sum up the essence and experience of the film.

From the 27th, the unit will whizz off to Goa to shoot the climax scenes. Kajal Agarwal plays the female lead.

Thaman is the music director of the film.
