Mahesh's role: Koratala's big condition to drive Chiranjeevi's decision

If some unconfirmed reports are anything to go by, Koratala Siva is getting the best bargain from Megastar Chiranjeevi.  'Acharya', which stars Chiru in the lead, is likely to have Mahesh Babu in a powerful supporting role.  The 'Sarileru Neekevvaru' actor recently agreed to do the film, as he liked the script.

How did Koratala make Chiru accept the proposal of roping in Mahesh?  The buzz is that the 'Bharat Ane Nenu' director made a sexy offer.  He told the Megastar that he will direct Ram Charan's next movie if he lets Mahesh do 'Acharya'. 

As of now, Chiru is yet to allow Mahesh in.  But since Koratala's offer is conditional, it is speculated that the legendary actor will allow the director to have his way.  That way, Chiru, too, will benefit immensely.  'Acharya' will enjoy a greater buzz if Mahesh does the supporting role. On the other hand, Charan will get to work with Koratala after Rajamouli's 'RRR'.  

The ball is now in Chiru's court.  It's also in Charan's court, as the 'Rangasthalam' actor is one of the producers of 'Acharya'.
