MB25: Seems to be inspired from Bollywood flick

Hyderabad, July 25: Mahesh Babu's 25th film shoot is advancing at a breakneck stride. The movie recently completed its schedule in Dehradun and will it head to USA and Europe very soon.

The latest buzz is that the film is partly inspired by Aamir Khan's blockbuster '3 Idiots'. However, it is not a remake (or) any copy. Buzz says that Mahesh Babu's characterization is similar to that of Aamir Khan's in the '3 Idiots'.

In '3 Idiots', Aamir Khan, Madhavan and Sharman Joshi had played 3 friends. And in MB25, Mahesh Babu and Allari Naresh are playing 2 friends.

However, this film is said to be dealing with more serious issues like farmers crisis and village development, etc. It is nothing to do with our educational system.

Director Vamshi Paidipally earlier bought the remake rights of a French movie and directed a beautiful movie in Telugu 'Oopiri' with Nagarjuna and Karthi.

If he really wanted to make it based on '3 Idiots', he would have bought the rights, a source says revoking this belief.

According to the information from close sources, some elements of the picture are anyhow inspired from Bollywood flick.
