Recently, there were speculations that 'KGF' director Prashanth Neel might work with Mahesh Babu and not Jr NTR. This happened after the young Sandalwood director called on the 'Sarileru Neekevvaru' star in Hyderabad. Apparently, a story was offered to Mahesh during this meet. Mythri Movie Makers had confirmed a project with Neel and the Nandamuri hero two months ago. Here arose the speculation: If Neel were to work with Mahesh, the NTR project might not be there.

But it seems the Mahesh-Neel project is not there for now. Neel, who is now busy with 'KGF-2', will team up with NTR and not Mahesh. We know this from an incident.

Earlier this week, NTR is rumoured to have hosted a party at his home for actors Yash and Sanjay Dutt. These two actors are shooting for 'KGF-2' in Hyderabad. It's safe to assume that director Neel got the Yash-Dutt-NTR trio together for the party. Usually, a filmmaker is in touch with his future hero. It may be deduced that Neel is in touch with NTR only because he will be working with him in 2020. Once NTR is done with 'RRR', he will shift focus to Neel's project. This one will be a pan-Indian project that Mythri will produce on an ambitious scale.
