Happy Birthday Mahesh Babu: While celebrating the birthday of Mahesh Babu, we must acknowledge that the actor builds his own unique trajectory in the Telugu film industry. While many star kids are labeled “nepo kids,” Mahesh Babu has largely escaped that tag; and that itself is an accomplishment. His fame comes from good acting and astute choices of films rather than being off-screen theatrics or lineage.
Mahesh Babu’s fame is built on the quality and greatness of his films. Nepo or not, Mahesh Babu’s journey is a lesson on how good cinema naturally evokes that stardom. Find meaning in a world where flash and controversies overshadow talent, he has had a relatively clean image and put his craft first. His legacy is varied with some of the most challenging roles, for instance, a child stuck in a 26-year old’s body living in a sci-fi paradigm, a rockstar with schizophrenia, and an undercover cop masquerading as a rogue. He pushed the commercial boundaries of cinema when experimental films were rarely hitting the box office.
Yet, Mahesh Babu’s career has changed. Once considered one of the best actors in India with his versatility and range, he appears now to lean into commercial fame and lad the talented actor he was as a very experimental and expressive great filmmaker. After Srimanthudu, Mahesh Babu embraced commercial cinema and limited most of his roles to only those he’d be able to count on with guaranteed box office dollars. This has left many fans feeling he is now just a highly rated star and no longer the diverse mixture and persona he was.
Reddit comments indicate the mixed views: Mahesh Babu fans respect him in the greatest way for what he did, and further, for whom he is as both an artist, and a highly visible individual actor, but still, his limited or prosaic castings provide for too little opportunity to the actor who once always left audiences with multiple surprises regarding experimentation and range. His recent popular films, although all commercial hits, don’t tell the tale that incorporates the daring and reverse popular turns of just being cast in too simple films to wander outside of the rough ludicrous safety. Most fans want to see the actor and not just the star perform wildly unthreatening performances that kill them.
As, Mahesh Babu may very well be celebrating another 365 days around the sun, it is also nice to think and dream that when his re-emergence returns from under a rock again it will be through returning the actor back to the first intent to a home. Now the TFI fans are waiting for his upcoming project with SS Rajamouli.
