Mahesh Babu away from Tollywood for one year

Hyderabad Dec 19th :Charmi forgets one day in ‘Anukokunda Oka Roju’. Mahesh Babu too had forgotten one year in his career. He did not participate in any kind of shooting from 1st January, 2008 to till the date. According to official sources, he is reported not to participate in any shooting up to 31st December. Mahesh Babu kept himself away from the camera for one year. He gained stardom with his block buster movie ‘Pokiri’. His later movies like ‘Sainikudu’ and ‘Athidhi’ became box office duds.
Mahesh said that he was looking for a good theme. His latest movie to be directed by Trivikram Sreenivas has been postponed a good many times since October, 2008. Though the story has been finalized, the shooting is slated to commence afresh only in the coming new year. Big heroes like Akkineni Nageswara Rao and Chiranjeevi faced the similar situation. The film industry too lost a lot directly and indirectly as the hero with a great potentiality kept himself away from the camera for one year. There are very few big hits in Tollywood in 2008. Chiranjeevi left film industry for entering politics and the space created by his quit is clearly visible. Young heroes are expected by their fans to fill the space. It is better for Mahesh to commence and complete a movie as soon as possible in 2009. If he completes two movies in 2009, it would be much better for him. However, it is doubtful whether he can do two movies in a year or not. TFC18 wishes Mahesh Babu to restore his past glory by completing his latest movie as soon as possible in 2009.
