Further Mahesh Babu opened up on an interesting fact that happened during his “Okkadu” release in Tamilnadu. “Okkadu” is the original version of Tamil blockbuster “Gilli” performed by actor Vijay. Mahesh Babu said that he felt bad when they started removing his film in Chennai theatres once they bought the remake rights of the film.

Talking about the receptions for his straight Telugu films in Chennai, Mahesh said “Chennai has always special been my special city for the love they showed for all my films. In fact “Okkadu” Telugu version was a sensation in Chennai. I felt bad because when they bought the remake rights of the film to do “Gilli”, they started removing it from the theatres in Chennai. Because they didn’t want many people from Chennai to watch the movie as it is going to be remade. In those days, we got sensational reception for “Okkadu” in Chennai. After that many of my films received a record opening for a Telugu film. Special thanks to Chennai audience” he said.
