Sandeep Vanga, the director of 'Arjun Reddy', has told a portal in his latest interview that his film with Mahesh Babu will happen for sure.  "We met only recently.  We had a healthy discussion.  The project is definitely there," he says.

When exactly is it going to happen?  "I will be shooting the Hindi remake of 'Arjun Reddy' (actor Shahid Kapoor steps into Vijay Devarakonda's shoes) from July.  After this project is completed, I might start working on Mahesh Babu's film," he notes.  

As of now, Mahesh's calendar is full till next May or June.  He will start shooting for Vamshi Paidipally's film from June, and for Sukumar's project from November or December.  As such, it's safe to assume that Mahesh's 27th movie will be with Sandeep!
