Filmmaker SS Rajamouli recently opened up about what impressed him probably the most while collaborating with Mahesh Babu on their upcoming film, Varanasi. While the acclaimed director has admired Mahesh’s performances for years, he revealed that it was the superstar’s remarkable discipline, professionalism, and unwavering give attention to set that really left an enduring impression on him.
SS Rajamouli Praises Mahesh Babu & His Disciplined Living
During a recent conversation with Variety, SS Rajamouli said, “As an actor, not much surprised me, because I used to be watching his movies from a really very long time. I do know what he’s able to. What got here as a surprise is his work ethic.”
Rajamouli went on to disclose one habit of Mahesh Babu that particularly stood out to him. In keeping with the filmmaker, the actor keeps his phone away throughout the workday, allowing himself to stay completely focused on his work. He said, “He comes into the office without his phone. He keeps the phone in his automotive and steps into the office. On the shoot, I actually have never seen him include the phone into the set. Only after he gets back into the automotive, he takes his phone.”
Rajamouli Reveals Mahesh Babu’s Discipline Inspired Him
The filmmaker further shared that Mahesh’s discipline extends beyond simply avoiding distractions. Even during breaks, he prefers to quietly observe all the pieces happening around him as an alternative of reaching for his phone. Rajamouli said, “Sometimes there are two, three hours, he just sits at his table observing all of the individuals who work. He doesn’t get his phone. He just observes.”
Rajamouli also shared that Mahesh’s approach inspired him personally, encouraging him to keep away from his phone while spending time together with his family. While Mahesh Babu has long been admired for his performances on screen, Rajamouli’s praise offers a glimpse into the discipline, focus, and professionalism that outline him off screen as well, further reinforcing why he continues to be probably the most respected stars within the industry.
