R Madhavan was talking about SS Rajamouli - Mahesh Babu film ? Bharathiraaja is back

Actor R Madhavan was talking about the S S Rajamoili – Mahesh Babu film is talk of Tollywood , as this is the most costliest film under production in Tollywood. This is what Maddy said - The Telugu industry will sometimes release a big-budget film that completely flops, which is also a reality. The industry is going through a metamorphosis and will soon surprise the world with a completely new type of content" mentioned the actor. The actor said, "If you observe the kind of high-budget Hindi films that have come out in the last two to three years, they have all been fairly elitist — movies about jingoism, patriotism or highly elitist themes sought all over the world. On the other hand, if you look at the high-budget films coming out of SS Rajamouli and the Telugu industry, they are very rooted in the ground or in the history of smaller towns in India. They spend a lot of money to make films like Baahubali, RRR or Pushpa. They invest a lot of effort into portraying these stories and giving them power."
