New Delhi: Recently, Telugu actor Mahesh Babu said that he doesn’t want to do Hindi films, as Bollywood couldn’t afford him. Now, film producer Boney Kapoorhas reacted to Mahesh’s comment. Earlier, film producer Mukesh Bhatt had also reacted to Mahesh’s statement. Ram Gopal Verma also responded to the Telugu superstar’s statement.
Mahesh had said in an interview last week, “I may sound arrogant, but I did get a lot of offers in Hindi. But I think they can’t afford me. I don’t want to waste my time. The stardom and love I have here in Telugu cinema, I never thought of going to another industry. I always thought I will do films here and they will become bigger, and my belief is turning into a reality now. I can’t be happier.”
Reacting to Mahesh’s statement about Bollywood, Boney told Indian Express, “I can’t comment on this because I belong to both sides, Bollywood and South. I have done films in Tamil, and Telugu and soon will be doing a Malayalam and a Kanada film. So I am not the right person to comment on this. Also, Mahesh has the right to say whatever he feels and he probably feels the Hindi film industry may not be able to afford him. He may have his own reasons for saying this. To each is his own opinion who are we to comment? I am the last person to comment on this. If he feels that way, it is good for him.”
Meanwhile, Mahesh’s film Sarkaru Vaari Paata released in theatres on May 12. He is one of the biggest stars of Telugu film industry. Some of his hit films are Businessman, Srimanthudu, Bharat Ane Nenu, Maharshi, and Sarileru Neekevvaru.
