Mahesh Babu loves shooting for 25th film in Dehradun

Telugu actor Mahesh Babu has been busy shooting for his 25th film, Maharshi, across Dehradun, Goa and Hyderabad. The actor recently shot in Dehradun for an extensive first schedule of the movie, and was fascinated by the city. After playing a range of roles in his last few films, including a politician in Bharat Ane Nenu, Mahesh will go back to playing a college student in Maharshi.

The scenic mountain retreat impressed the Spyder (2017) actor, who spent more than a month shooting in the city. The actor, along with costar Pooja Hegde, shot at real locations across the Uttarakhand capital. Mahesh was not only mesmerised by the natural beauty of the place, but also touched by the down-to-earth residents.

A source close to the actor, reveals, “Mahesh shot in Dehradun for the first time, and found it extremely serene and peaceful. They shot in the outskirts of the city, and even interacted with the locals. By the end of the shoot, the crew had gotten along really well with the locals, and even binged on some Dehradun delicacies.”

Revealing further, the source adds, “Mahesh was really impressed with the city and enjoyed every bit of the schedule. Though the shooting schedule was hectic, he explored the city while travelling from one shoot location to another.”

For the film, Mahesh will sport a thick beard and moustache for the first time.
