South Indian director Shankar is probably the only director who makes message oriented commercial flicks and also converts them into blockbusters. All the Shankar films got dubbed in Telugu and we know the result too. Shankar in the past made attempts to do direct Telugu flick but things did not work out and so he confined himself to dub his films.
However, Shankar's presence in the recent Aagadu audio release gave rise to speculations that he might work with Superstar Mahesh Babu in the near future. When dug deep into the matter, it was the makers of Aagadu '14 Reels Entertainment' banner is trying to bring the icons together. 14 Reels has arranged a gathering of Mahesh and Shankar for initial discussion of script say insiders. But Shankar is currently busy with 'Ai' and reported that he will narrate the script once he is done with his current film.
If things fall in its place as per the plan, 14 Reels might produce the movie irrespective of the budget and we know, the film will simultaneously release in Tamil which makes things easy for them too.
