'Everyone should learn this from Mahesh Babu'; Rajamouli heaps praise on actor

SS Rajamouli, the acclaimed director behind blockbusters such as Baahubali, Eega, and RRR, is currently working on his next big project, Varanasi, featuring Mahesh Babu in the lead role. The film’s title was unveiled recently at an event held at Ramoji Film City. Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran will also play prominent roles in the movie.

A comment Rajamouli made about Mahesh Babu during the title launch has since gone viral.

“There is something in Mahesh Babu’s personality that all of us should learn from. He never carries a mobile phone when he comes to the office or the set. Even if he works for eight or ten hours, he doesn’t touch a phone. He only checks it after getting back into his car,” Rajamouli said.

He added that at a time when many struggle with smartphone addiction, Mahesh Babu stands out as a rare example.
