Vamsi Paidipally and Mahesh Babu’s next ‘will be big’

Filmmaker Vamsi Paidipally says his next yet-untitled Telugu project with superstar Mahesh Babu will be a big film for both their careers.

While remaining tight-lipped about the details of the film, Paidipally said: “Mahesh is very excited. When he heard the first narration, he was ready to go ahead. It’s going to be a big film in both of our careers.”

The project marks Paidipally’s first collaboration with Babu.

“Mahesh as an actor is ready to embrace everything. As a director, I really can’t ask for more and that’s what makes this film really exciting,” Paidipally said.

Paidipally earned critical acclaim for his last film, Oopiri, a slice-of-life drama which explores the relationship between a quadriplegic millionaire and his convict-turned-caretaker.

Asked if we can expect another slice-of-life flick with Babu, he said, “It’s too early to talk about the film.”

Pooja Hegde is rumoured to be the leading lady.
