Is Ajay an important sentiment for Mahesh?

Mahesh Babu likes to have Ajay as his character name and also, actor Ajay gets a crucial role in his films too. Looks like it is a sentiment for Mahesh, mainly the name. May be it is the name that is helping actor to get good roles in his films too.

In Dookudu, Mahesh played the lead role with character name, Ajay and in Pokiri, even though he is referred to as Pandu, his real name is revealed to be Krishna Manohar.

Before Dookudu, he again used the name, Ajay in Okkadu. From Pokiri, actor Ajay has been in one or the other role in most of his films too.

Now, the actor Ajay is going to play a crucial role in the film, Sarileru Neekevvaru where he will be crucial for a flashback episode that will elevate the character of Mahesh Babu, it seems. Director, Anil Ravipudi himself revealed it.

Sarileru Neekevvaru has been designed as an ode to previous hits of Mahesh, mainly Okkadu and the comedy seems to follow Dookudu style too.

Bringing Pokiri into the mix, Ajay is playing a crucial role. Seems like Mahesh developed a small sentiment regarding name Ajay and the actor as well.

If Sarileru Neekevvaru hits the bullseye and doesn't fall flat like Aagadu, then the Superstar might turn up as Ajay in few more films?!
