Prince Mahesh Babu

Prince Mahesh Babu's 'Bollywood Blues'! 

After the sensational super hit blockbuster, 'Seethamma......', Prince Mahesh Babu seems to embark on wrong moves, which could spell misfortune to his flourishing career. Looking back at his track records, Bollywood has never been good for the star in reel life.

While real life cannot be speculated in these columns, but as his fans, we definitely could help him shape his career for a better future.

After 25 years in Tollywood, a strong multi-starer film had been made and it had received tumultuous approval from global audience too. That is an achievement and due credits must go to Srikanth Addala (filmmaker), Venkatesh, Mahesh Babu and of course to our beauties Samantha and Anjali.

But what is now bothering the fans is that after so much fanfare and success, Mahesh is repeating the same mistakes that led to a lean patch earlier. His Bollywood angle had not well clicked, since the beginning of his career.

The much speculated remake of Hindi super hit, '3 Idiots' with him in the lead, did not take off at all. Then his another speculated Bollywood entry through remake of Telugu super hit 'Businessman,' also was shelved for unknown reasons.

On the other hand, his Telugu films with B-Wood imports also bombed at the box office. 'Raja Kumarudu' with Preety Zinta, 'Vamsi' with Namrata, 'Takkari Donga' with Bipasha, 'Naani' with Ameesha Patel  and 'Athidi' with Amritha Rao were major setbacks in his career graph.

Many argue that his films with imports like Illeana (Pokiri) and Sonali Bendre (Murari) were sensational hits. But if the ratio is taken, then failures exceed. Under these conditions, is it worth to embark on new projects with B Town imports, is a question haunting well-wishers.

His next three films are with Sonakshi Sinha in 'Shivam,' Sukumar's film with Kriti Sanon and with Sonam Kapoor in Srinu Vytla's film 'Agadu.' All the three are Mahesh Babu with Bollywood beauties, 'will they add value to his career graph or …....?', is an agony that is drilling the fans. (Wishesh AarKay)
