There was a film which was titled after Mahesh Babu's character, but Mahesh was not addressed by anyone as such by any character. It was Arjun, the Gunasekhar directorial. In Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, Mahesh Babu had no name. He was addressed as 'Chinnodu', meaning the younger brother of 'Peddodu', who was played by Venkatesh.

Asked if Mahesh's character has a name in Brahmotsavam, the superstar has told a media house that he has no name in this film either. Saying that Srikanth Addala's characters don't need names, Mahesh makes it clear that he has no name. The movie deals with tender emotions and has three divas cast opposite Mahesh - Kajal, Samantha and Pranitha, the last one playing his 'maradalu'.

Mahesh was tensed on day one of the shoot because it was a schedule in which several senior actors, including Sathyaraj, Revathi, Jayasudha took part. Since it was a song that was being shot, Mahesh became comfortable soon afterwards.
