Mahesh Babu to set up an international school in Andhra Pradesh?

Buzz is that actor Mahesh Babu is keen to invest in education. Sources tell us that the actor has evinced interest in setting up a never seen before international school in the new capital of Andhra Pradesh, Amaravati.

“The actor isn’t going to be the sole in charge of this venture though he is co-investing with a close family friend, who’s also a well known person in the film industry. The duo felt Amaravati was a land of new opportunities and that they should give the place the first ever international school of great standards,” reveals a source.

Interestingly, the initial ideal location thought out for the school was Hyderabad. But with Amaravati set to become a model city, and Hyderabad already having a lot of such schools, Mahesh and his partner chose the new city for the scope it offered. The duo is said to be seeing a great benefit in the form of the incentives that the government of Andhra Pradesh would provide to people who start major ventures in the state.

While sources tell us that all this is still in the planning stage, it is to be seen if this works out and how it will shape up.
