Mahesh Babu, director Sandeep Vanga to collaborate for an ad film?

Mahesh Babu and Sandeep Vanga were previously expected to collaborate for a movie but things did not go as planned

Actor Mahesh Babu, one of the biggest names in the Telugu film industry, is reportedly set to collaborate with maverick filmmaker Sandeep Vanga for an ad film backed by a top brand. 'Prince' has liked the concept of the advertisment and is likely to sign the dotted line in the coming days.

Sandeep became the talk of the town when he directed the Telugu blockbuster Arjun Reddy, which ruffled a few feathers with its bold content. He later remade the film in Hindi as Kabir Singh, with Shahid Kapoor in the lead, and added a new dimension tio his career. He soon narrated a story to Mahesh but things did not work out as the actor felt that it dealt with a 'dark' subject. It remains to be seen whether the two are able to impress fans with their upcoming ad film.

Sandeep, meanwhile, is working on his upcoming Hindi film Animal that features Ranbir Kapoor in the lead. This reportedly is the same movie he wanted to make with 'Super Star'. It revolves around the journey of a violent young man and has a star-studded cast that includes Anil Kapoor, Parineeti Chopra and Bobby Deol. Animal is slated to hit the screens next year.

Mahesh, on the other hand, is working on the eagerly-awaited movie Sarkaru Vaari Paata. It is touted to be a commercial drama, which is likely to appeal to the family audience. The biggie is being directed by Parasuram and will mark his first collaboration with the Spyder hero. Sarkaru Vaari Paata is slated to hit the screens early next year.

Mahesh also has a film with ace filmmaker SS Rajamouli in his kitty. The Baahubali director is expected to turn his attention to the film after wrapping up his latest movie Rise Roar Revolt (RRR), which features Jr NTR and Ram Charan in the lead.
