"The first look will be out very soon.Requesting you all to be a little patient. Love you guys as always," Mahesh had tweeted. The Countdown Begins!Mark your Calendar!!Set your Time!!#Mahesh23 #ARM11 #FirstLook12Apr17@5pm @ARMurugadoss @urstrulyMahesh — NVR Cinema (@NVRCinema) April 10, 2017 Mahesh 23 is directed by AR Murugadoss. The ace filmmaker is a self-confessed fan of Mahesh Babu and he had expressed his desire to direct the Telugu superstar, who also enjoys a strong fan following in Tamil Nadu, a few years ago. Finally, his maiden project with Mahesh went on the floors in July last year. Since then, the film has been the talk of the town and the filmmakers have closely guarded the project against unwanted leaks of plot details and character looks. The film has a huge star cast. Rakul Preet plays the female lead and SJ Suryah will play the role of the antagonist in the film. Actors Bharath and RJ Balaji will be seen in key roles too. Harris Jayaraj is scoring the music for the film while Santosh Sivan is handling the camera.
