I’ll make you guys proud: Mahesh Babu tells fans
Hyderabad–Southern star Mahesh Babu has assured fans he will make them proud with his next Telugu release “Bharat Ane Nenu”.
A pre-release fan event called Bharat Bhairanga Sabha was held Saturday evening. Overwhelmed by the response garnered, Mahesh Babu took to Twitter to express gratitude to his fans.
“A mammoth size thank you to all my dear fans for attending the event last night. It was truly a humbling experience to see all of you there. Supremely happy and overwhelmed with the love you all have been showering upon me for all these years,” he said.
“Your attendance last night in those large numbers is a reminder for me that I am here only and only because of you all… I will make you guys proud,” he added.
The teaser of “Bharat Ane Nenu” showcases Mahesh Babu as a revolutionary leader as he plays the role of Chief Minister. It is the circumstances behind which Bharat takes over the key role and how he brings about a change in the society.

Varun Dhawan was not on my casting list at all: Shoojit Sircar
Mumbai–Filmmaker Shoojit Sircar, who teamed up with actor Varun Dhawan for the first time in his forthcoming film “October”, on Sunday revealed that he was not on his casting list at all.
Present at a promotional event for his forthcoming romantic drama film, he said that he was looking for a fresh cast. “We needed someone young and fresh, like 20 years old, so Varun Dhawan was not on my casting list at all. Also I had not seen his films.
“But one day he was in office and I saw him, I was aware of his image, his commercial world image, but somewhere I felt he is not like that, he is different,” said Shoojit.
Shoojit found the actor perfect for his character ‘Dan’, because: “he has something different in his eyes… honesty and innocence. There is something very nice and vulnerable about him. He just doesn’t only dance and jump, there is some sensibility in him too. He is perfect as Dan, the character”.
The “Vicky Donor” director also said it was very brave of Varun to act in an unconventional and unusual movie.
“Good thing about Varun Dhawan, despite his success with films, for him to do this kind of film, an unusual and unconventional story, that is really brave,” he said.
Banita Sandhu, the debutante from Wales, is roped opposite Varun in the film and Shoojit also shared his reasons to cast a newbie.
