Why did RGV drop Mahesh Babu?

Ramgopal Varma has closed up all the speculations on Hindi version of ‘Businessman.’ Apparently, the way RGV praised Mahesh Babu for his superb performance in the flick and at one moment elevating him above the standards of Big B made many to realize that RGV would definitely go for Hindi remake with only and only Prince. Downing all the curtains, RGV tweeted, ‘Finally its confirmed…Me nd puri jagan together are making the remake of the block buster telugu hit `Businessman' with Abhishek bachchan.’

Well, knowing the business acuity of RGV and less popularity of Mahesh Babu in B-town…definitely this is expected by few who knew this film maker from close. Dropping of Mahesh and picking of Abhishek Bachchan is purely a business motive while it is now to be seen, whether RGV or Puri…who will direct the movie?
