Superstar refuses to go shirtless again!

Superstar Mahesh Babu, who is against going shirtless in his films, has once again refused to do it for his tentatively titled Telugu film “Srimanthudu” despite being requested by the director.

Director Siva wanted Mahesh to sport his worked out abs in this film but he was certain that he wouldn’t go shirtless. Siva felt since Mahesh had exclusively worked on his body for ‘1: Nenokkadine’, he wanted him to flaunt it.

In Sukumar-directed Telugu action-thriller “1: Nenokkadine”, Mahesh did take off his shirt for a shower scene but he didn’t flaunt his abs. Otherwise, Mahesh, in his over decade long career, has never gone shirtless. Shruti Haasan is paired with Mahesh in “Srimanthudu”, which is being directed by Koratala Siva.
