Mahesh Babu’s Impact on Varanasi Students
Satyadev recounted a memory with Mahesh Babu at an event for Rao Bahadur. Here’s what he said about working with the star.
Actor Mahesh Babu might be 50, but he’s still considered one of the best-looking stars in Tollywood. At an event for his upcoming film, Rao Bahadur, Satyadev spoke about his long association with Mahesh, who is presenting the film. He revealed that once, when they were shooting, filming had to be paused, and the police intervened as students were too distracted by the Varanasi star.
Satyadev’s Experience with Mahesh Babu
He then added that the movie they were shooting for was Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu (2013), adding, “I acted as Mahesh’s friend in the film. I told the whole town that Mahesh put his arm on my shoulder while talking to me. After I spread the news everywhere, the scene was removed from the film. It happens. My friends didn’t believe me; thankfully, they released that deleted scene later. It’s still on YouTube.”
Satyadev revealed that the scene wasn’t included in the film as it was incomplete. Police turned up at the shooting spot due to Mahesh, “But the reason why we needed to stop shooting that day was that the police came. They told him the students had stopped writing exams because he was there. They asked us to leave, and we never completed the scene. He’s presenting my film now; everyone who teased me then can watch it now.”
