Tamil director Atlee, who directed Raja-Rani, got a lot of recognition in Tollywood as well, as the film became a big hit in Telugu as well.
His next film “Theri” starring Vijay, was also released as “Polisodu” on a grand scale. Though this film could not recover even the publicity cost in Telugu, it had earned over Rs 100 crore in Tamil.
Interestingly, Atlee desperately wanted to make a film with Mahesh Babu in Telugu. During the release of Telugu version of Theri, he had a meeting with Mahesh.
Having heard about the track record of Atlee, Mahesh, too, gave a patient hearing to the concepts proposed by the director. There were rumours those days that Mahesh would be doing a film with Atlee.
According to the latest information, there is no positive response from Mahesh to Atlee’s proposal. Apparently, Mahesh backtracked after seeing the failure of ‘Polisodu’ and he reportedly advised Atlee to try for some other actors to do Telugu films.
Having failed to convince the Telugu superstar to a do a film with him, Atlee is said to be back in Tamil film industry eyeing Vijay once again. Since ‘Theri’ was a commercial hit in Tamil, Vijay, too, responded positively to Atlee’s requests.
Though the director is unable to appease Mahesh Babu to make a blockbuster film, he seems to have become a favourite for Vijay!
