Mahesh Babu’s Bharat Ane Nenu was to lock horns with Allu Arjun-starrer Naa Peru Surya — Naa Illu India on April 27. However, it seems that might not happen as the Koratala Siva directorial has apparently been pulled out of the race and will be released at a later date due to some undisclosed reasons.

If reports are anything to go by, the team is considering the possibility of pushing the film’s release to either May or early June. Although no official statement has been made yet, speculations about the delay refuse to die down.

Meanwhile, Mahesh who is back after a vacation will resume the shooting later this week. The team is planning to shoot important scenes and a couple of songs in this schedule. We hear that Mahesh will be seen in a panche kattu in one of the songs.

Produced by DVV Danayya, the film, also starring Kiara Advani, has music by Devi Sri Prasad.
