Ravi
Teja,
who
goes
by
the
sobriquet
Mass
Maharaja,
swears
by
the
title
and
says
that
as
long
as
audiences
accept
him
in
his
mass
avatars,
he
doesn't
see
the
need
to
experiment.
"It's
not
that
I
haven't
experimented.
But
whenever
I
did,
the
result
has
not
been
satisfying.
Hence,
I
like
to
concentrate
on
doing
films
that
entertain
scores
of
people
who
are
responsible
for
my
successful
career.
When
I'm
loved
for
what
I'm
doing,
I
don't
see
the
need
to
experiment," said
Ravi
Teja.
The
47-year
old
star,
known
for
producing
out-and-out
commercial
entertainers,
promises
that
his
latest
outing
Bengal
Tiger
will
appeal
to
everybody
and
agrees
it
had
a
predictable
story.
"Although
we
have
a
predictable
story,
but
the
way
it
has
been
treated
will
make
all
the
difference.
We've
made
an
entertaining
film
and
I
guarantee
that
it
won't
disappoint,"
he
said,
adding
that
he
had
first
heard
a
line
of
the
story
four
years
ago.
Directed
by
Sampath
Nandi,
the
film
stars
Tamannaah
Bhatia,
Raashi
Khanna
and
Boman
Irani
in
important
roles.
"Even
before
Sampath
made
'Racha',
he
narrated
the
line
and
I
really
liked
it.
However,
I
asked
him
to
work
on
it.
Meanwhile,
both
of
us
got
busy
with
our
respective
projects
and
finally
decided
to
join
hands
now,"
he
added.
Earlier
this
year,
Sampath
had
walked
out
of
Sardaar
Gabbar
Singh,
when
he
was
called
and
offered
Bengal
Tiger.
A
few
years
ago,
a
bilingual
project
that
Sampath
was
working
on
with
Kannada
actor
Upendra
was
shelved
when
it
was
on
the
verge
of
completion.
"People
thought
it
was
a
bad
idea
to
be
teaming
up
with
a
director
who
has
had
a
history
of
bad
luck.
I
didn't
let
such
silly
reasons
bother
me.
As
an
actor,
I
only
give
importance
to
the
script
and
the
confidence
of
the
director.
I
don't
let
any
other
reasons
influence
me
or
my
decisions,"
he
said,
heaping
praise
on
Sampath,
who
finally
had
a
release
after
three
years.
"He's
a
fantastic
technician
and
a
laid-back
director.
He's
also
very
accommodating
and
willing
to
take
suggestions,"
he
said.
Next,
Ravi
will
team
up
with
directors
Venu
Sree
Raam
and
Chakri
for
two
Telugu
projects,
which
are
currently
at
different
stages
of
pre-production.
