Mahesh babu repalced by Suriya

Businessman film was planned with Tamil actor Suriya in the lead. Puri Jagannadh wanted to make a trilingual with Suriya and later switched to Mahesh Babu at that time. Now it is Suriya's turn to take away Mahesh Babu's project. As per the buzz Surya is planning to do a bilingual soon in the direction of Raj-DK.
 
This director duo was supposed to make a film with Mahesh in the lead. Mahesh heard the storyline and gave a go ahead. Later he dropped the idea of doing this film and moved on to some other venture. Raj DK are ready with the bound script now and are chasing other big stars of South cinema.
 
If the buzz is to be believed they will make this film on Aswini Dutt's Vyjayanthi banner. They are in talks with Surya at the moment. Surya is currently busy with other projects and he is planning to do a straight film in Telugu this year. This might be his first straight film in Telugu given he likes the script.
