After seeing the teaser, many said that Maharshi is having heavy doses of Srimanthudu flavor. But fans denied and so did the team. But now, sources close to the unit say that the film is indeed like a sequel of Srimanthudu.
There is an only subtle difference in both the films and news are that the audience will easily make them out in no time. Here the major difference is of Allari Naresh and his role which has been made to give an edge.
Vamsi Paidipally has waited two long years to make this film with Mahesh and if this film is a rip of Srimanthudu it will be a big shame for him
