Superstar
Mahesh
Babu
feels
it's
safer
for
stars
like
him
to
do
commercial
films
as
lot
of
lives
depend
on
big-budgets
projects
such
as
his.
Mahesh
has
had
his
share
of
flops
in
his
career.
But
he
treats
success
and
failure
on
par.
"A
hit
film
is
what
we
work
for
as
actors
as
that
goes
to
show
that
we
have
managed
to
entertain
our
audiences
who
shower
us
with
their
love
and
affection
throughout
the
years," Mahesh
told.
"It's
better
to
do
a
film
that
works.
I
try
to
work
on
a
film
that
my
audiences
would
appreciate
and
enjoy
their
time
in
a
theatre.
Also,
a
lot
of
lives
are
dependent
on
one
film
that
we
make,
so
a
successful
film
only
makes
those
families
happier," he
said,
and
added
that
it's
tough
to
judge
the
fate
of
any
film.
After
two
back-to-back
debacles
such
as
1
Nenokkadine
and
Aagadu,
Mahesh
has
his
hopes
pinned
on
Srimanthudu,
which
hits
the
screens
on
August
7.
The
film
is
about
giving
back
to
the
society.
"It's
an
interesting
concept
treated
commercially.
When
director
Koratala
Siva
pitched
the
idea
a
year
ago,
I
quite
liked
it.
It
has
something
for
everybody.
My
character
Harsha
is
quite
different
from
all
the
roles
I've
done
so
far
in
my
career," said
Mahesh.
As
the
theme
of
the
film
suggests,
he
says
the
film
will
give
back
to
the
audience
something
beyond
entertainment.
