Thus My PrinceMania Began

I continued my research on this first class actor and he led me to a whole new world, a world called Tollywood. I recently read in an article that one of the reasons he wants to act only in Telugu movies is to promote the Tollywood Film Industry and make it more well known in the world; Prince you are well on your way to doing just that! I grew up knowing about Bollywood, completely oblivious to the fact that this was not the only film industry in India. Mahesh’s movies have taught me not only about this other film industry, with a vast variety of talent, but also about South India. As I got more into my research about him, I noticed that his fans fondly referred to him as Prince and Superstar. At first it confused me as to why they gave him these names but the more I learned about him and the more I watched him act, the more I understood why he is known as Superstar Prince Mahesh Babu. I myself constantly refer to him as Prince, a very fitting title for Mahesh. I have only been a fan for approximately five months now but I have seen almost half of his ovies and own them on DVD. He is a natural when it comes to acting. I love the way he completely embodies the character’s role and has the audience completely convinced that the character has come alive! It never ceases to amaze me how much he improves and progresses as an actor in each new film that he does. I really wish that his earlier movies, especially his debut movie was available with english subtitles but you don’t need subtitles to know that at the beginning of his career as a lead actor, that Mahesh was headed straight to stardom! I was completely and utterly surprised to find out that his father was also Superstar in Tollywood and that Mahesh grew up around this stardom; that was because of the manner in which he carries himself in the industry. If you don’t know who he is, then you wouldn’t be able to guess that this is Tollywood’s number one actor or that he’s a Superstar! I admire his simplicity and his humbleness. Those are traits that are rarely found in people of his status. I see him not only as a great actor but also as a role model. I would hope that I can emulate these qualities because he’s the kind of person who always encourages his colleagues and his co-stars when they take on new ventures and he also respect other’s works and the efforts they put into a project; especially when it comes to his movies. I have never heard him take credit for a movie’s success, the credit always goes to the entire team who made the production possible.
