Vamshi waited three years to make ‘Maharshi’: Mahesh
Actor Mahesh Babu has thanked director Vamshi Paidipally for waiting patiently for three years to make their forthcoming Telugu action drama “Maharshi”, which hits the screens on May 9.
At the pre-release event, Mahesh wholeheartedly thanked Vamshi for placing his full faith in him.
“When Vamshi first came to narrate the script, I thought I’ll listen for ten minutes and decline the offer as I had two other commitments. After I heard 20 minutes of the narration, I wanted to do the film but told Vamshi he might have to wait till I complete my next two projects. He said he will wait as he can’t picture anyone else in this story,” Mahesh said.
