I am strictly against remakes: Mahesh Babu
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,February 04 2013]
How are you enjoying the success of SVSC?
I have been very pleased at the response we have got for SVSC. It has been crossing the collections of 'Dookudu'. Definitely it's been a welcome note for more multi-starrer movies to come by in the future. We have started off a trend of multi-starrers. I have heard that the movie has made record collections in even overseas. I thank the people there for such an overwhelming response.
Have you experienced any change in you after doing SVSC?
I have changed even before the movie and it's not after doing it. The new thing I have learnt is that I have to unlearn many things.
There is a talk once that, you are remaking a film?
I don't remake any movie whether old or of other language. The excitement will be lost when a movie is remade as it is already done. I would like the thrill of making a new project every time. I am strictly against remaking a movie.
How do you feel when your movie is remade?
Then, I would be very happy (laughs)
How do you feel when you are called the No.1?
I never feel no.1. If I had felt so, I wouldn't have done a family movie like SVSC.
Talking about your next film with Sukumar, generally his movies have a different characterization and unexpected screen play. What about your film?
Including them, the film consists of a very good action.
What about the title of the film? It is rumoured as Acharya or Rockstar.
Acharya!!! You really frightened me and I have got shivers in my legs (laughs).It is not titled yet and it's not 'Rockstar' as you mentioned.
What is your reaction on the recent Kamal's issue?
I had seen Kamal sir's press meet in TV and tears welled up in my eyes. It is unfortunate that it happened to such a great actor. I am a big fan of him and as now the issue is settled, I pray the film becomes a block buster there in Tamil Nadu. I am yet to see the film.
What about your future projects?
After Sukumar's, my next movie is with Sreenu Vytla. And I am yet to work with Vamsi Paidipally, Krish and Puri Jagannadh.
What happened to your project with Mani Ratnam?
It's really sad that we have stopped the project for a while due to some budget issues. I have been a big fan of Mani Ratnam. We definitely work together in the future.
When is your film with Rajamouli?
I am excited about the film with him and the sittings have happened. Once the commitments of his and mine are completed, we will work on it.
