Mahesh Babu recently heaped praise on Allu Arjun-starrer Pushpa: The Rise, calling the actor’s performance ‘stunning, original, and sensational’. The film has become one of the biggest hits of 2021, making inroads in the Hindi belt too.
Last month, Mahesh Babu-starrer Sarkaru Vaari Paata postponed its planned January 13 release. It was intended to make way for SS Rajamouli’s RRR, which was set to clash with Sarkaru Vaari Paata on Sankranthi weekend. Rajamouli had also thanked Mahesh Babu for taking the initiative of avoiding the clash. However, RRR also had to move eventually, due to the rising Covid-19 cases across the country.
While Sarkaru Vaari Paata has now booked April 1, 2022 as its fresh release date, RRR remains undated. Mahesh Babu’s next production venture is Major.
