Koratala denies Mahesh, Balakrishna rumors

News has been doing rounds that Koratala Siva has roped in Nandamuri Balakrishna for a special role in his next movie with Mahesh Babu. But these reports are untrue. Koratala Siva clarified this through his tweet. He wrote, “There are no fancy combos in my next film nor it’s a multi starrer. Request all of u to ignore all the speculations.”

Koratala Siva and Mahesh Babu’s film will commence shoot from January 2017. This is his second film with Mahesh Babu after record breaking ‘Srimanthudu’. Danayya is producing this flick.

Three movies that Koratala directed – ‘Mirchi’, ‘Srimanthudu’ and ‘Janatha Garage’ turned out to be blockbusters. In all his movies, he roped in senior heroes in special roles like roping Tamil senior star Sathya Raj in ‘Mirchi’ and Mohanlal in ‘Janatha Garage’. So this led to the speculations about Balakrishna featuring in Mahesh Babu’s next.
