Mahesh Babu is in Dehra Dun to shoot for his new film.  He had left for the place on Sunday.  He has started shooting for the Vamshi Paidipally movie on Monday.  

The news is that Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat made a visit on the sets of the superstar's movie earlier in the day.  The unit members welcomed the dignitary with due respect and enthusiasm.  Mahesh and the CM were seen engaged in a conversation.

When he was there in Ahmedabad to shoot for 'SPYder' in 2016, Gujarat's then Deputy Chief Minister was there to greet Mahesh.  Such high-profile visits only go to show that the Tollywood actor is well regarded across India.  Also, Telugu cinema is widely respected these days in North Indian states, thanks to the currency of our movies' Hindi dubbed versions.
