Mahesh Babu has soft corner for Sandeep Vanga

Hyderabad: Superstar Mahesh Babu is quite expressive with his opinions about movies and also supports new generation directors like Sandeep Vanga Reddy. "Mahesh Babu described Arjun Reddy as a path-breaking film understanding the changing tastes of Telugu audience, albeit it received bit flak from politicians like Hanumanth Rao ridiculed posters showing hero with a liquor bottle and cigerette, conveying a wrong message among youngsters," says a source.

After the massive success of Arjun Reddy, Mahesh Babu wanted to encourage Sandeep and also wanted to work with him. "Mahesh Babu discussed a couple of ideas with Sandeep and wanted to do a quickie with him. He wanted to showcase his heroism in a new way and everything was set. But due to his other commitments, Mahesh Babu couldn't spare dates. Later, Sandeep went on to conquer Bollywood with Kabir Singh,," he adds.

However, continuing his liking for Sandeep, Mahesh Babu will be gracing the pre release event of Animal in Hyderabad today. "If Mahesh likes somebody's work, he will extend full support. He will be boosting the confidence of Sandeep and team with few encouraging words since it is much awaited films in Bollywood," he concludes.
