It was reported last month that Mani Ratnam has started working on a big-ticket project, a spy-thriller featuring Mahesh Babu, Nagarjuna and Aishwarya Rai. Suhasini Mani Ratnam confirmed the same in an interview to a Telugu news channel and Nagarjuna expressed his willingness to act in a Mani’s film after decades. Now, it is confirmed that the project has been shelved without any obvious reasons given.
Rumours mills are rife that Mahesh Babu and Nagarjuna who agreed to work on the film in principle were not really satisfied after listening to the whole script. But, Nagarjuna has denied this saying he was informed that the project has been dropped and no particular reason was stated. Mahesh Babu is currently busy with his upcoming film Aagadu and Nagarjuna is gearing up for the release of Manam which hits the screens this Friday.
