Superstar Mahesh Babu and southern actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu have been roped in for the third time in upcoming yet-untitled Telugu project, which will be helmed by Srikanth Addala.

"It's a three-heroine subject. Samantha will play the main lead opposite Mahesh," a source from the film's unit told IANS.

Mahesh and Samantha have previously worked together in "Dookudu" and "Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu", which was also directed by Addala.

"Taapsee Pannu and Pranitha Subhash are being considered as the other heroines. They've been called for a look test on Thursday," the source added.

Tentatively titled "Brahmotsavam", the project is expected to go on floors in June.
