Actress Shruti Haasan, daughter of actor-filmmaker Kamal Haasan, will be teaming up with superstar Mahesh Babu in his next as yet-untitled Telugu film. The project was officially launched here Monday.
"Shruti Haasan is finalised as Mahesh Babu's pair in the film, which was officially launched with a puja this morning. Regular shooting is expected to start from September and will be completed in one long schedule," a source from the film's unit told IANS.
To be directed by Koratala Siva, the film will also feature Rajendra Prasad, Jagapathi Babu, Sampath Raj and Brahmanadam in important roles.
