Mahesh Babu's 'Maharshi' to Clash with Chiranjeevi's 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy'?

After the roaring success of 'Bharat Ane Nenu', South superstar Mahesh Babu treated his fans with the first teaser of his silver jubilee film 'Maharshi'. The 'Bharat Ane Nenu' star took to Instagram to share the teaser with his fans and captioned the video as, "Humbled by your love & blessings 🙏🙏Beginning my journey today as 'RISHI' :) #MAHARSHI #MeetRishi".

The 43-old-year actor had begun shooting in Dehradun, Uttarakhand a while ago and might release the film in April 2019. 'Maharshi' will b3 helmed by director Vamshi Paidipally and will also star 'Duvvada Jagannatham' actress Pooja Hegde and Allari Naresh. The first teaser of the film has increased audience anticipation with the superstar looking charismatic as he brushes his hair walking through the corridors of the college with a laptop in his hand. Mahesh Babu looks dashing and young as ever proving that age is just a number. The teaser of the film went viral and fans are waiting with bated breath for the trailer of 'Maharshi'. The movie is slated to release on April 5, 2019.

Meanwhile, 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy' is a multi-lingual period film starring superstar Chiranjeevi, Amitabh Bachchan and Nayanthara in the lead roles, with Tamannaah, Pragya Jaiswal, Jagapati Babu, Vijay Sethupathi, Kiccha Sudeep in supporting roles. The film will be Chiranjeevi's 151st film and is apparently based on the life of freedom fighter Uyyalawada Narasimha Reddy from Rayalaseema. The film will be produced by his son Ram Charan and Surender Reddy will helm the project.

Here's a still from the film that went viral on the internet!

If reports are to be believed, Chiranjeevi's period-drama 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy' might clash with Mahesh Babu's 'Maharshi' at the box office with both the films slated for an April 2019 release. Though Chiranjeevi's period-drama 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy' is near its completion, the impending VFX work might push the release of the movie to the next year resulting in a box office clash between Mahesh Babu and Chiranjeevi who are both powerhouse performers in the Telugu film industry. On the other hand, Mahesh Babu 's family share a great rapport with Chiranjeevi's family and rumours are rife that Mahesh Babu can postpone 'Maharshi's release thus making a way for Chiranjeevi's big budget film 'Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy'.
