I simply said, ‘It’s up to you.’ After the discussion, we decided to proceed with the film. After he went home, I messaged him saying, ‘I’m happy to work in your film. You portray heroes very well in your films, and I like that. You must really like heroes.'” To this, Rajamouli gave a surprising reply: “But I prefer villains more.” Mahesh Babu admitted, “I didn’t know what to say to that, so I just sent a smile emoji.”
