Earlier this week, Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu and Hindi actor Ranveer Singh shot for an ad together. Soon after wrapping up the shoot, the Bollywood star took to Instagram and described the 'Sarileru Neekevvaru' actor as one of the "finest gentlemen".

"One of the finest gentlemen I have had the privilege to collaborate with. Our interactions are always enriching. Love and respect to big brother Mahesh garu," the 'Gully Boy' actor wrote.

Acknowledging Ranveer's comments, Mahesh today said, "It was great working with you, brother. The feeling is mutual."

Mahesh will be shooting for 'Sarkaru Vaari Paata' from January. Keerthy Suresh is its female lead. The entertainer, directed by Parasuram Petla, has music and cinematography by Thaman and Madhie R, respectively.
