18th October 2007 Athidi SuperHit: BO Report Athidi a much awaited movie of the year for tollywood is finally out. Movie opened with a positive talk all over. Due to the tremendous craze this movie will get great openings. Since the movie lived up to be a superhit, Athidi will be a profitable venture.
Plus and Minus of Film: Mahesh is obviously a big asset for the film. He got appreciations from crowd for his action in love, sentiment, comedy and style. Mani sharma's music and picturization of songs are highlights. Fights, style and the feel of the movie are good. On the flip side, Surender reddy's narration went little confusing in 2nd half. Surender directs a movie in hollywood style and it is bit hard for common masses to understand it. Even then the movie ended very well to comeout as a successor. Heavy Voilence is the only drawback as far as the reports but it is not going to effect movie's BO success.
Overall, Athidi is another stylish movie in hollywood style from mahesh and surender reddy. The movie has a superhit talk 100 days report so far. Pokiri fate changed after 3 weeks only, we have to wait and see if the audience gonna turn Athidi from superhit into Industry Hit. A must watch movie for all audience. A unmissable for SuperStar fans.

17th June 2007 Crazy fan freaks at padmalaya studios. Mahesh has an extreme image in female audience. One die hard fan of mahesh called tahasina went to padmalaya studios and told to the security and media that she loves mahesh and wants to marry him. After her speech it seems she was mentally struck by mahesh's beauty and lost her mind. It is so sad that she came all the way from chitoor to hyderabad to make her wish come true, which is impossible. She even said she doesn't want to bother that mahesh is already married. This poor girl should know every one loves celebrites but willing to marry them is an odd thought for any fan. If she thinks proposing to her beloved celeb through media will help her, that would be a bad idea and gives negative results to her. Millons love Aishwarya Rai and wants to marry her but every one knows its impossible and stupid to say so. Let's hope this won't go too far and she will receive some psychological advice to solve her problem.
