I want to inspire the young: Mahesh Babu
The actor talks about his role in his next film, and how he believes films convey a motivational message to the masses.
Mahesh Babu’s next big film Maharshi is ready for release in May. And he’s no longer looking at merely entertaining his fans. In the new film he plays a visionary with dreams of taking the country and its young population forward. The catchline in the film’s teaser is — “Success is not a destination, it’s a journey”. This what Mahesh Babu believes in real life too.
“One can’t rest on one’s laurels. One has to move on, build new hopes and aspirations. I do want to motivate the youngsters of the country, to work harder and never give up on their dreams, no matter how bleak the future may seem. I strongly believe if you put in sincere, hard work there will be results,” says Mahesh Babu who intends to remain out of politics.
“Cinema is a powerful tool of reform and progress. My films Bharat Ane Nenu and Maharshi are my methods of conveying a motivational message to the masses,” says Mahesh Babu who now leaves for a 10-day holiday on April 20 with his wife and children. He says this has been a period of constant stress as the completion of Maharshi weighed on his mind and schedule. He needs a break before beginning promotions for the film.
