Mahesh Babu's 'Costly' Understanding With Shankar

It has been quite a while since the talk was on about Mahesh Babu being part of the remake of the Bollywood blockbuster ‘3 Idiots’. The remake is a bilingual and it is directed by Shankar. Now, sources reveal that Mahesh has finally said yes but with some really costly underlying conditions.

It is heard that the prince is charging a whopping Rs 12 crores remuneration. He has reportedly catered a 60 day call sheet and he would be paid a daily remuneration of Rs 20 lakhs, as per sources. And here is another condition from Mahesh to Shankar.

Talk is that Shankar has to come up with a bilingual movie for Mahesh and only on this condition will the prince join ‘3 Idiots’. Already, the shooting of the Tamil version is on and it has been titled as ‘Nanban’. Let us wait to hear a formal confirmation and announcement on this one though.

Ileana impresses top director Shankar

Ileana has joined the shoot of remake of ' 3 Idiots '. She flew down to Coimbatore from Hyderabad and began shooting for the movie from Monday (January 31, 2011). Shankar is currently filming scenes of a wedding and he was impressed with Ileana's gorgeous looks in bridal attire. Shankar is filming scenes that don't require the 'hero'.

Tamil actor Surya has suddenly walked out of the project. So, Shankar convinced Vijay as hero for the movie in the Tamil version. And what's more our Prince Mahesh Babu is also stepping into the movie for the Telugu version. But Mahesh is yet to make official statement
