Siva Koratala taking a subject like politics managed to deliver a big blockbuster with Mahesh Babu. The movie already collected a Worldwide share of Rs. 62 crores in Four days and Rs. 100 crores gross.
Many fans of Pawan Kalyan connected to Bharat as their favorite star who is considered as a Demi-God by them.
Mainly, they wanted the press meet scene to be Pawan Kalyan's direct questions to media.
Well, did Siva Koratala think so? The director and writer, always wanted a hero with no political affiliation and for him, Mahesh suited the bill better than anyone else.
So, he thought of Mahesh Babu only as Bharat and never wanted Pawan Kalyan to work in a political movie in his direction. He wants to make a movie with the actor, if he gives him chance and that will have even bigger social message it seems.
