Mahesh Babu is in talks to team up with Tamil filmmaker Atlee. If the talks turn into reality, it will be Atlee’s entry into Telugu cinema that too with the super star. Sources revealed that the filmmaker recently met Mahesh Babu to bounce a plotline. In 2013, the director shot to fame with Nayantara-starrer, Raja Rani.

A source close to the director said, "Mahesh has wanted to collaborate with Atlee for quite a while now. The director who was recently in Hyderabad met Mahesh on the sets of Brahmotsavam where he narrated a story idea as well. The actor expressed interest in the project and asked the director to develop it into a script." Apparently, Atlee went to Mahesh with a slick action-romance saga.

"It will be a new age romance loaded with high voltage action and drama. After the release of Raja Rani, Atlee was flooded with many Telugu film offers. But he wanted to finish Vijay's film before taking up anything. Talks are on and a concrete decision will be taken soon," the source added. Currently, Atlee is busy with his upcoming Tamil film that stars Vijay.
