The bonding between fans and their heroes is something interesting. Most of the times, it is about the fans seeing themselves onscreen through their heroes. That is why stars like Pawan Kalyan, Junior NTR tend to have such a strong following. However, the case with Mahesh is different.
The cine intellectuals say “Frankly speaking, Mahesh is too classy or glamorous for the regular frontbencher to get connected. But here is the twist. The success of ‘Pokiri’ happened not just because of Mahesh but because of the Puri Jagannadh packaging power and the other artists as well.”
They add “Something similar happened with ‘Dookudu’. If it was not for the contribution from Srinu Vytla, M S Narayana, Brahmi then the outcome would have been different. So today, Junior NTR is dabbling with films like ‘Shakti’ ‘Kantri’ ‘Oosaravelli’ for the wrong reasons. If he gets the right kind of director who can mould him then there will be a totally new comparative analysis that will come between Junior and Mahesh.”
