Mahesh Babu’s market cap has been on the rise ever since the release of Pokiri. Sources say the actor is going to rake in an astounding Rs 8 crore for his next venture.

Singanamala Ramesh is producing the film and Mahesh’s sister is chipping in as the presenter. But not everybody is as gung ho about the price tag because it is going to have a cascading affect on the cost of the film.

The renumeration factor forced producer KL Narayana to shelve his proposed project with Mahesh Babu. However the latest buzz is that Warner Brothers have signed up Mahesh to play the lead in their latest production in the lead and price sure won’t be an issue for them, will it ?
