Speaking in the interview, Mahesh said, “Heroism has always been on another level. When you hit someone, they just fly off somewhere and they don’t land, they just keep on flying, flying…and flying.”
In the same interview, the actor also added that he had not done outrageous commercial films in his career due to his mindset being different. He said, “Even in my commercial films like Okkadu and all, the heroism was there but in a subtle way. I believe in that and today I respect that.”
Furthermore, the actor also shared his view on Telugu cinema and how it has always been his priority. Expressing his gratitude towards the industry for giving him so much, the actor also added that he is proud of where Telugu cinema has reached now.
Interestingly, in the same interaction, the actor also revealed how his market strangely goes up despite even enduring disasters. Highlighting how he is always answerable to fans, makes him feel quite astonished because it happens.
