Mahesh – Bunny Choices Prove Box Office Gold

In the vast ocean of cinema, few stars sail with such precision, avoiding the storms and choosing only the strongest currents. Mahesh Babu and Allu Arjun are like seasoned captains, charting their course carefully while others get tossed by Bollywood waves.

Superstar Mahesh Babu and Icon Star Allu Arjun deserve special praise for one thing, they never chased Bollywood unnecessarily. Over the years, even when big producers and directors from Hindi cinema approached them, they politely declined. Unlike some stars who made hasty choices, Mahesh and Bunny carefully picked their projects, focusing mainly on South Indian directors and stories that fit them. Their strategy shows discipline and foresight.

Mahesh Babu’s career is a clear example. Out of 29 films, none were directed by a Hindi filmmaker. Most of his collaborations are with Tollywood directors like Trivikram Srinivas, Koratala Siva, Vamsi Paidipally, and Rajamouli. Even when he tried projects with Kollywood directors, like SJ Surya and Murugadoss, the results didn’t work. His careful selection and loyalty to South filmmakers have kept his career steady and consistent.

Allu Arjun stayed the course, working with Raghavendra Rao to Sukumar, ignoring Bollywood offers. Even Sanjay Leela Bhansali couldn’t lure him away. Collaborations with Puri Jagannadh, VV Vinayak, Krish, and Boyapati Seenu built his local base, leading to pan-India fame with Pushpa.

Unlike peers Ram Charan, Prabhas, and Jr NTR, who stumbled with Bollywood projects, Mahesh and Bunny show that sticking to roots and picking the right directors brings lasting success.
