Jagapati Babu to play Mahesh's uncle?

Jagapati Babu's statement, when he posted on Facebook that he would be playing the role of Mahesh Babu's father in Koratala Siva's film, created quite a furore, mainly because he had refused to play Ram Charan's father earlier. But after all the excitement died down, buzz is doing the rounds that he won't be playing the father but the uncle! The character, it is said, is quite a pivotal role.But if the role is a negative one or not, remains to be seen.
