Mahesh Babu who was on a promotional event for his latest film Sarkaru Vaari Paata, got into trouble when his comment was taken in the offensive by a sect of fans and media. In an interview to a South scribe, Mahesh Babu had told that he does not want to do Hindi films as Bollywood could not afford him.

However, he was quick to send out a clarification in the media which said a different story. A report on hindustantimes talked about it and we take reference from that story for our write up here.

As per an Indian Express report, during a new interaction with the Telugu media, Mahesh said, “I have always wanted to do Telugu films. And I have always wished for Telugu movies to do well across the country. I strongly feel, why should we go to another industry by leaving ours behind? I am very happy that our films are reaching there (in North India). Our movies are doing well at the pan-India level and my dream is coming true.”

He added, “I don’t need to do Hindi films. I can just do a Telugu film and it’ll get seen all over the world – that’s what’s happening right now. You’d want to be in a position to do (only) a Telugu film.”

Well, to what he had earlier said, here you go!! He said, “I may sound arrogant, but I did get a lot of offers in Hindi. But I think they can’t afford me. I don’t want to waste my time. The stardom and love I have here in Telugu cinema, I never thought of going to another industry. I always thought I will do films here and they will become bigger, and my belief is turning into a reality now. I can’t be happier.”

Well, what do you think was in Mahesh’s mind when he said all of it?
