“You don’t want to work in Bollywood it’s okay but saying Hindi cinema can’t afford you is like seriously!! This was rude and arrogant. But it’s fine now I get it, do your work where ever you want I will make sure to not bother you from now,” a Twitter user wrote.
Another user said Mahesh Babu never passes such “arrogant and disrespectful” statements.
“His intentions got conveyed in a wrong manner. I hope he will clear this misinterpretation in the upcoming interviews. Mahesh is gold in character. He never passes such arrogant and disrespectful statements,” read the tweet.
“No brother he isn’t arrogant at all, look at the interview media twisted the sentence and made it rude. Mahesh said that he isn’t made a film in Bollywood yet, so he was scared of how many people will know him,” a Twitterati said.
The 46-year-old star made his acting debut long back in 1989 as a child artist in his father’s film Poratam. He is the son of Telegu actor Krishna. Mahesh made his silver screen debut with Raja Kumarudu (1999) opposite Preity Zinta.
