Mahesh Babu's new look for his upcoming film

Mahesh Babu has sent his fans into a meltdown of sorts by making a public appearance with a beard and a moustache, completely in contrast to his usual look. The actor, who was present at the pre-release event of the Sudheer Babu-starrer Sammohanam, has become the cynosure of all eyes due to his new avatar.

As reported earlier by Cinema Express, this will be one of the two looks of the Bharat Ane Nenu actor for his 25^th film to be directed by Vamshi Paidipally.

“Mahesh is an actor who generally prefers not to experiment with his looks in his films, but this time he is going all out and has altered his look for the role. In the film, he will sport two distinct looks as a college-goer and a farmer, and this avatar is for the former,” says a source.

The actor, who returned to the city from a vacation in Europe, will start shooting for the untitled film with a 19-day schedule from June 18 to July 6 in Dehradun. To be produced jointly by Ashwini Dutt and Dil Raju, the film also has Pooja Hegde and Allari Naresh in pivotal roles.
