'The Businessman', a forthcoming film of 'Prince' Mahesh Babu, directed by Puri Jagannath, formally hit the floors in Hyderabad, with a pooja. It is to be noted that after 'Pokiri' the duo is coming together again.

Venkat will produce 'The Businessman' under R R Movie Makers banner. Happy about being part of the project, Mahesh Babu said: "When Puri Jagannath narrated the script, I had no other option but to say an instant yes because the story is so interesting."

Puri Jagannath, the captain of the ship, said: "I am so happy to join hands with Mahesh after 'Pokiri'. It is a general opinion that I give top priority to the characterization of the hero in my films. I can say that the hero of 'The Businessman' is my favorite one."
