Mahesh Babu has pulled off a surprise by parting ways with Vamshi Paidipally. After 'Sarileru Neekevvaru', his film will NOT be with the 'Maharshi' director but with someone else.

Our sources say that he is Parusuram, the 'Geetha Govindam' maker. The Vijay Deverakonda movie catapulted him to stardom in 2018. Mythri Movie Makers has decided to produce the Mahesh-Parusuram movie on a prestigious scale. This will be their first-ever collaboration.

It may be recalled that, after 'GG' became a blockbuster, Parusuram tried his best to team up with Mahesh. But that didn't happen, as Mahesh was more interested in something else. Last December, Parusuram's project with Naga Chaitanya was announced by 14 Reels Plus. Looks like this project is going to take time. Mahesh's film will happen first.
