Mahesh Babu replaces Abhishek Bachchan in ‘The Businessman’

The much sought after actor in the Telugu film industry, Mahesh Babu is finally making his debut in Bollywood. The actor is currently in Mumbai shooting for the Telugu version of a movie titled “The Businessman”.  Directed by the Telugu director Puri Jagannadh, who has also directed Amitabh Bachchan’s Bbuddah… Hoga Terra Baap, is planning on making a Hindi version of The Businessman. 

As per the initial plan, Abhishek Bachchan was supposed to play the lead in the Hindi version but walked out due to date problems. Jagannadh then decided to cast Mahesh Babu in the Hindi version as well. After completing the Telugu version, the crew will immediately start filming the Hindi version.

The actor is practicing his Hindi and is taking his wife Namrata Shirodkar (former Bollywood actress) help to get a hang of the language. In fact the director is sailing in the same boat too and is brushing up his Hindi before shooting for the film.

The female lead for the Hindi version is yet to be confirmed while Kajal Agarwal will be the lead actress for the Telugu version.
