Superstar Mahesh Babu and 'Maharshi' are the hot topics on social media right now. The pre-release event of 'Maharshi' was attended by countless of his fans from Telangana. The event turned out to be a grand affair.

Mahesh Babu shared his experience working with director Vamsi Paidipally and appreciated his patience as he waited for him for two years. Mahesh Babu said, "These days if there is a slight delay for even two months, directors who have good scripts are running away to other heroes. But I've to appreciate Vamshi for keeping his trust in me”.

Within minutes, several online portals carried the news and speculated that Mahesh Babu is indirectly talking about Sukumar. Those who don't know, Mahesh Babu was supposed to work with Sukumar after 'Maharshi'.

They called off the project due to creative differences. Sukumar went with the same script to Allu Arjun who gave his nod to the project. With the whole issue blowing up, Mahesh Babu later clarified all the rumours by stating that he was only praising Vamshi at that instance and requested media to not read between the lines. During the promotions of ‘Maharshi’, the ‘Okkadu’ star revealed, “Sukumar narrated an intense & depth plot while I was looking out for an entertaining one. So, I choose Anil Ravipudi’s script instead of Sukumar and even he was content with that. I will definitely collaborate with him in the future.”

'Maharshi' is slated for a massive release on May 9, 2019. Directed by Vamsi Paidipally, the movie also stars Pooja Hegde and Allari Naresh in key roles.
