For the last few days, much has been written about the shelved project of the Mahesh Babu-Vamshi Paidipally duo. While the 'Sarileru Neekevvaru' superstar has moved on and is set to work with 'Geetha Govindam' director Parasuram, the 'Maharshi' director looks to have been embarrassed.

A juicy buzz in the industry is that Paidipally is unhappy with Mahesh for canceling the project at the last minute.

Another rumour doing the rounds is that the director wants to use this opportunity to try his luck with Prabhas. The 'Saaho' actor will be busy with 'O Dear' (directed by Radhakrishna Kumar) for most of this year. Apparently, this is not stopping Paidipally from approaching the pan-Indian star.

As interesting pieces of gossip news about Paidipally continue to surface, he must be wondering what better he could have done to impress Mahesh, with whom he was supposed to work from April. Alas, the lost opportunity!
