Breaking: BAN Out From Battle

Superstar Mahesh Babu's much-awaited political thriller Bharat Ane Nenu was pitted against Allu Arjun’s Naa Peru Surya – Naa Illu India on April 27. 

As the makers of both these films are asserting time and again that they will stick to the scheduled date but latest reports about the Mahesh Babu-starrer are creating panic among trade circles. Speculations hint at a possible delay in the release of BAN due to some undisclosed reasons. 

A little birdie in the know informs that the film is out of summer race and will hit the screens in early June. While Naa Peru Surya will release as announced, BAN has pulled out of summer. Directed by Koratala Siva, Bharat Ane Nenu shows Mahesh Babu essaying the role of a Chief Minister. 

The actor has recently returned from a holiday in Oman and will join the new schedule of BAN later this week. The team is planning to shoot two songs of which one of them sees the superstar wearing a panche and some crucial scenes of the film. DVV Danayya is backing the project and Kiara Advani is playing the leading lady.
