Mahesh Babus tiff with Bollywood

Superstar Mahesh Babu is the owner of G. Mahesh Babu Entertainment, a production company that is behind Major, an eagerly awaited 2022 release starring Adivi Sesh. At the trailer launch of Major recently, Mahesh Babu talked about fans wanting to see him in a Hindi film. When questioned about his intentions to enter Bollywood earlier in May 2022, Telugu actor Mahesh Babu sparked a debate. He categorically rejected the notion, saying, “Bollywood can’t afford me.”

Mahesh further clarified his position when speaking with the Telugu media during the promotion of his next movie Sarkaru Vaari Paata, which has been the subject of continuous controversy due to his statements.

“I have always wanted to do Telugu films. And I have always wished for Telugu movies to do well across the country. I strongly feel, why should we go to another industry by leaving ours behind? I am very happy that our films are reaching there (in North India). Our movies are doing well at the pan-India level and my dream is coming true,” Mahesh said.

Mahesh had previously been questioned over a potential Bollywood debut. He responded more subtly at that time. “I don’t need to do Hindi films. I can just do a Telugu film and it’ll get seen all over the world – that’s what’s happening right now. You’d want to be in a position to do (only) a Telugu film,” he had said then.

Today marks the South superstar’s 47th birthday and social media is abuzz with celebrations. His supporters from all around the country created the hashtags #MaheshBabuBirthday and #HBDSuperstarMahesh and showered him with affection. Mahesh, also known as Prince in the South Indian film industry, wed Namrata Shirodkar, a former beauty queen. Two children, a son named Gautham Krishna and a girl named Sitara, were born to Mahesh and Namrata. The actor continues to spoil his followers by posting glimpses into his personal life on social media.
