Mahesh Babu is the only hero in the recent times that was solely bearing the burden of continuing the legacy of his father. All other families have more than one hero to do so. Now Mahesh Babu's brother in law Sudhir Babu raised up his hand to have a go at the box office.
Sudhir is making debut with SMS movie that is lined up for release on February 10. Sudhir sports six pack abs in this film. He is a natural fighter with athletic body and he could be a good action hero with that chiseled body. Sudhir also is a very good dancer.

Pawan Kalyan @ Racha Audio Function!!

Once again 'All Is Well' card surfaced in the Mega Camp after a series of pitfalls and staying outs. People are saying that Powerstar is finally cooled down by the mega big-wigs with their 'butter' acts.
From an year or so, everything is not smooth between mega brothers and their mega brother-in-law Allu Arvind.

Mahesh Babu @ Behind Snehithudu Failure!!

South India's most famous director Shankar tasted rare failure in tollywood with his 'Snehitudu', a remake of bollywood hit '3-Idiots'. Though this bilingual starring Vijay and Ileana is doing well in kollywood, it failed to connect with tollywood movie lovers as it lacked originality and people still fresh with '3-Idiots' memories.
Many feel had Prince Mahesh Babu who is a top star in tollywood starred in the film when Shankar contacted him, the film's fate would have been different. Though Vijay enjoys huge mass following in kollywood next only to Superstar Rajinikanth, he doesn't have that appeal in telugu unlike Surya, Vikram, Ajith or Karthi. Prince Mahesh Babu left the film to other block busters like 'Dookudu' and 'Businessman' but knowning the popularity and directoral capabilities of Shankar,he might have missed an opportunity to score another hit considering the fact the he could have paired with Ileana which could have recreated 'Pokiri' magic.
Surely had he starred,keeping in view of his popularity, 'Snehitudu' script could have been changed, than the present carbon copy. In a way it seems Prince Mahesh Babu is behind 'Snehitudu' failure and turned out to be a villain for Shankar.
