Superstar Mahesh Babu is celebrated not just for his cinematic prowess but also for his affable nature and timeless charm. With each passing day, he seems to defy age, often mistaken as the brother rather than the father of his son, Gautham. Mahesh not only captivates audiences with his looks but consistently delivers stellar performances that stand out among his co-stars.

His upcoming film, "Guntur Kaaram," scheduled for release during Sankranti 2024, is eagerly awaited by fans. He is romancing Meenakshi Chaudhary and Sreeleela in Guntur Kaaram directed by Trivikram Srinivas. Beyond that, Mahesh is gearing up for a monumental collaboration with star director Rajamouli, promising to create a sensation that transcends borders.

Recently, Mahesh graced the grand pre-release event of "Animal" in Hyderabad, a film featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Amidst the festivities, anchor Suma posed a light-hearted question about managing his wife, Namrata Shirodkar. Mahesh, ever-charming, responded, "We can impress and manage a wife only if we are always smiling," eliciting thunderous applause.

During the event, Mahesh showered praise on Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Ranbir Kapoor. Dressed casually, Mahesh expressed his admiration for Ranbir, labeling him the best actor in India. Ranbir, visibly emotional, reciprocated the compliment, reminiscing about the impact of Mahesh's work.

Anil Kapoor playfully challenged Mahesh to dance to the iconic song 'Dole Dole' from "Pokiri." Despite initial shyness, Mahesh eventually graced the stage, choosing to clap along rather than dance. Ranbir, showing humility, touched SS Rajamouli's feet, and Rajamouli declared him his favorite actor, playfully challenging him to choose between working with Vanga and himself. Ranbir's choice? Vanga.

This star-studded event not only showcased the camaraderie between Bollywood and Tollywood but also highlighted Mahesh Babu's enduring charm and the respect he commands within the industry.
