AR Murugadoss, who is currently busy wrapping up the Sonakshi Sinha-starrer Hind film Akira, is likely to direct Mahesh Babu next for a Tamil-Telugu bilingual. Shruti Haasan, who recent paired up with Mahesh in the hit Telugu film Srimanthudu, is in negotiations for teaming up with Mahesh again for this flick.
Sources say Mahesh has given his consent in principle and will sign the project soon. It will be the real high for Shruti to star in this bilingual since her last two projects in Tamil are with Vijay and Ajith. While Puli didn’t turn out to be as good as everyone expected, she is gearing up for Vedalam which is set for a Diwali release.
