Directed by Vamsi Paidipally, Maharshi also stars Pooja Hegde and Allari Naresh in lead roles. According to an earlier report, Mahesh will be seen playing a rich businessman who returns to India. It is is going to be the Telugu superstar's 25th movie.

The film has been shot in various locations, including the US, Hyderabad, Dehradun and Pollachi.

Until now, the makers have unveiled two posters and a teaser from the film. The latest poster shows Mahesh dressed suavely in a black suit and walking in the rain, accompanied by his foreign entourage. With the release of the poster, fans are suspecting that Mahesh plays a James Bond-like character in the film. The first poster, on the other hand, saw Mahesh Babu in a boy-next-door avatar.

The teaser, titled #MeetRishi, gave a glimpse of Mahesh's Rishi as he walked down a college corridor, occasionally glancing at his classmates charmingly.
