Telugu actor Mahesh Babu is ecstatic about his latest movie Bharath Ane Nenu, which is said to be the fastest money spinner of Telugu cinema, crossing the Rs1.25 billion (Dh68.7 million) mark.
“We knew we had a terrific film on our hands as Siva garu [director Koratala Siva] is a great storyteller. But one never knows which way the wind blows. It’s always the audience which gives the final verdict, and it’s truly overwhelming... [we wish a] big thank you to all who have unanimously loved our film. It’s a very proud moment for me,” said Babu.
The actor praised his character, Bharath, in the political drama.
“It is very rare for actors to get such powerful films. The characterization of Bharath is my best till date. I will always be grateful to my director Siva garu for conceiving this part for me,” he added.
Babu said he is game for a sequel to Bharath Ane Nenu.
“We had content to do a five-hour film. But since we had to make it one film, we edited the content down to less than three hours. But I would love to do a sequel, if Siva sir agrees,” said the star.
Bharath Ane Nenu is currently showing in the UAE.
