Industry Talk: Mahesh Babu's loss is Allu Arjun's gain!

HYDERABAD: The recent announcement of Allu Arjun winning the National Award has stirred emotions among Mahesh Babu's fans. They've highlighted that Mahesh had previously been in discussions for a project with Sukumar, which was called off due to the creative differences between the two. They say the same project went to Allu Arjun, who now receives the accolades.

Even before Sukumar teamed up with Allu Arjun for "Pushpa," there were discussions between Mahesh Babu and the director of the same film. An official announcement had been made about their collaboration. However, Mahesh reportedly decided against proceeding with the film due to concerns about the titular character's appearance.

Mahesh's fans reflect on what could have been as "Pushpa" gains recognition and attains a National Award. The hypothetical scenario of Mahesh starring in "Pushpa" has stirred thoughts that the National Award might have been within his grasp.

However, the reality is that the film was eventually made with Allu Arjun in the lead, leading to his commendable victory. The convergence of these circumstances has given rise to a mix of emotions, contemplation, and a sense of what might have been.

Whatever it may be, Mahesh Babu's loss is truly Allu Arjun's gain.
