South Indian cinema superstar Mahesh Babu is currently making headlines for his upcoming 1000 crore project. However, the actor-producer recently faced disappointment as his film Sarkaru Vaari Paata missed out on winning the National Film Award at the 70th National Film Awards, which saw a strong showing from South Indian films.
Expectations Were High for Sarkaru Vaari Paata
According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, Sarkaru Vaari Paata was submitted for consideration by the National Awards committee, with Mahesh Babu officially listed as its producer, despite being a co-producer alongside Mythri Movie Makers and 14 Reels Entertainment. The film was expected to perform well at the awards, with hopes that Mahesh Babu might receive the prestigious award from the President of India if the film was recognized as the best.
The film, which carries a strong social message, highlights the struggles of small and middle-class borrowers who are often targeted by bank recovery agents while wealthy defaulters are ignored. The movie aimed to shed light on this pressing issue, making it a strong contender for the awards. However, despite the makers’ hopes, Sarkaru Vaari Paata did not secure a win, leaving fans and the film’s team disappointed.
A Missed Opportunity for Mahesh Babu
Had Sarkaru Vaari Paata won the award, it would have been a significant milestone in Mahesh Babu’s career, elevating his stature not only as an actor but also as a producer. The film’s failure to win at the National Film Awards was a blow to those who believed in its impactful message and cinematic quality.
Looking Forward: Mahesh Babu’s 1000 Crore Project
Despite the setback, Mahesh Babu remains focused on his future endeavors. He is currently basking in the success of his last film, Guntur Karam, and is gearing up for his next big project—a film with acclaimed director SS Rajamouli. This highly anticipated movie is reportedly being made on a massive budget of around 1000 crores, making it the biggest project of Mahesh Babu’s career to date.
Fans and industry insiders are eagerly awaiting updates on this film, which is expected to break several records in Indian cinema upon its release. Mahesh Babu is said to be working hard to ensure that this film lives up to its enormous expectations.
While Sarkaru Vaari Paata may not have won at the National Film Awards, Mahesh Babu’s journey as a producer and actor continues to captivate audiences, with even bigger projects on the horizon.
