Actor Mahesh Babu recently opened up about facing setbacks in his career and getting a "sinking feeling" when a film doesn't do well. In an interview, he also talked about how his father Krishna told him about the burden a big actor must carry when he experiences a professional failure.
In the interview, Mahesh said, "When a film doesn't do well, you're left with a sinking feeling. There are a lot of expectations, and many people put a great deal of effort into making a movie. However, I take full responsibility because I'm the face of it all. I believe that if I hadn't green-lighted the project, it wouldn't have happened. It's better that way and allows me to focus on my next film."
Mahesh recalled his father's advice, "When you're a big actor, you need to accept that pressure. I learnt this, and more, from my father. He taught me the importance of discipline and humility. He instilled in us a strong value system, teaching us that success comes with its ups and downs. When you rise, there will inevitably come a moment when you fall, and you will have to carry that burden and ride the waves. It all comes down to how you handle the challenge."
On the work front, Mahesh will be seen in 'Guntur Kaaram,' directed by Trivikram Srinivas. The upcoming film also features Meenakshi Chaudhry, Sreeleela, Jagapathi Babu, Ramya Krishnan, Jayaram, Prakashraj, and Sunil.
