This film needs a performer, not a glamour prop", a source quoted in a leading portal had said earlier.## Sarkaru Vaari Paata is Mahesh Babu's 27th film which will be produced by Mythri Movie Makers, GMB Entertainment, and 14 Reels Plus.## FYI, Keerthy Suresh was all set to make her Hindi debut, and that too with Ajay Devgn with Maidaan.
