The
eagerly-awaited
Maharshi,
featuring
Mahesh
Babu
in
the
lead,
hit
screens
today
(May
9,
2019)
amidst
much
fanfare
and
managed
to
impress
the
target
audience.
The
initial
reports
suggest
that
the
film
is
set
to
have
an
epic
opening
day
and
set
the
box
office
on
fire.
While
it
is
too
early
to
say
whether
it
is
going
to
be
a
hit
or
not,
the
fact
remains
that
Maharshi
has
passed
the
first
test
with
flying
colours.
Interestingly,
phenomenal
response
to
Maharshi
is
bound
to
send
not
just
fans
but
also
actor
Vijay
Deverakonda
into
a
state
of
frenzy.
The
'Rowdy'
is
a
big
Mahesh
Babu
fan
and
holds
him
in
high
regard.
During
the
Maharshi
pre-release
event,
the
young
star
had
said
that
as
the
film
is
releasing
on
his
birthday,
he
considers
it
to
be
his
duty
to
ensure
that
it
fares
well
at
the
box
office.
Now,
that
the
film
has
taken
a
good
start,
the
Arjun
Reddy
star
is
bound
to
be
a
relieved
man.
Maharshi,
directed
by
popular
director
Vamshi
Paidipally,
is
an
emotional
drama
that
revolves
around
organic
farming.
The
film
has
Pooja
Hegde
in
the
lead
and
marks
her
first
collaboration
with
the
Brahmotsavam
hero.
With
the
film
in
theatres,
Mahesh
Babu
is
set
to
begin
work
on
Mahesh
26
which
will
be
directed
by
Anil
Ravipudi.
On
the
other
hand,
Vijay
Deverakonda
will
next
be
seen
in
Dear
Comrade
which
features
his
Geetha
Govindam
co-star
Rashmika
Mandanna
as
the
female
lead.
