By: Priya Chowdhary Nuthalapti | 30 Nov 2025 2:07 PM ISTSince Andhra King Taluka title was revealed, many thought this would be inspired from Pawan Kalyan’s fan story. Meanwhile Director Mahesh Babu P recently revealed that many emotional moments in his film Andhra King Taluka are inspired by his own life. He shared that several scenes in the movie were created from memories that stayed with him for years.
Mahesh Babu P explained that he has always been amazed by how deeply fans love their favourite heroes. He said that this strong connection between stars and fans motivated him to include heart-touching moments in the film. One such moment is the Arati Pallu scene, which he says is not fiction but something he personally experienced long ago.
He recalled a special incident from his engineering days. During the Praja Rajyam campaign, Pawan Kalyan visited a hotel in Vizag. Mahesh, who was a huge admirer, tried repeatedly to meet him. After several attempts, he contacted a staff member from a local MLA’s office and requested any chance to see the actor. Later, he received a call saying that dinner was being sent from home for Pawan Kalyan and there might be an opportunity for him to deliver it.
The team also mentioned that Pawan Kalyan wished to have bananas after dinner. Even though it was quite late, Mahesh immediately went onto the roads searching for them. Most shops were closing, but he finally managed to find bananas somewhere. This small but emotional moment left a strong mark on him. Years later, he recreated the same feeling in Andhra King Taluka, showing how far a fan can go just to make their hero happy.
