We don’t believe in underhand tactics: Mahesh Babu

Sarileru Neekevvaru director Anil Ravipudi woke up to reports on Saturday morning that an entire section of his film was being edited out of the film, as audiences didn’t approve of it.

Review of Telugu film Sarileru Neekevvaru: A treat for Mahesh Babu’s fans
Sarileru Neekevvaru Starring Mahesh Babu, Vijayshanthi, Rashmika Mandanna, Prakash Raj Directed by Anil Ravipudi Rating:*** ½ (3 and a half stars) Mahesh Babu has always been the poster-boy for cinema with a relevant theme and contemporary topic.
