Prince Mahesh wants to be the lone ranger as far as his films are concerned. First he wants his film to have a free ride this January without any competition and second, he says Brahmanandam is not really required for Aagadu. Of course these are not exactly his words, but the plans of the films' makers.

Shooting for 1 Nenokkadine is almost complete, with just one more schedule to go. The film is planned for release in January 2014, in time for Sankranthi. During that time, makers of Nenokkadine are looking to have the maximum theaters, considering the high budget of the film. Besides, the first few days have become highly crucial for new releases as most of the collections are taken from the release weekend itself. Director Sukumar and the film's producers would want to ensure a huge opening.

After Nenokkadine comes Aagadu, the shooting of which will begin in a few days. Sreenu Vaytla is keen on a hit entertainer, much like Dookudu. He is reportedly planning to give Mahesh Babu a Rayalaseema slang and take the film ahead without comedian Brahmanandam. It is heard that he wants to show a hit without the presence of the popular comedian.

So, for entertaining audiences with a new release or carrying the film on his own shoulders, Mahesh is firmly sticking to his philosophy, Nenokkadine.
