Take a look at Namrata Shirodkar's post here:
Mahesh Babu in an interview with news agency IANS, described Maharshi as a film with a strong social message "laced with commercial elements." He added: "It's a film unlike anything I've done so far because audiences can easily relate to my character Rishi. The journey of my character will be both interesting and inspiring."
Before Maharshi, Mahesh Babu was seen in last year's Bharat Ane Nenu and before that in 2017's SPYder. The actor has delivered back-to-back hits at the box office and speaking to IANS he revealed that the 'one film a year' formula works for him. "I will continue doing one film a year because there's no point doing too many. Today, the economics of filmmaking has changed and the stakes involved are very high. Hence, there are always high expectations from audiences," he said.
Maharshi is directed by Vamsi Paidipally and it also stars Pooja Hegde and Allari Naresh in pivotal roles.
