Mahesh Babu’s praise of filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj’s DC has attracted a lot of interest among South Indian cinema fans. Currently the Telugu superstar who is attached to SS Rajamouli’s eagerly awaited Varanasi is once more showing his empathy for ambitious filmmaking and the talent in the Tamil film industry. His praise for the project has been appreciated as it is very much in line with his name and connects the creative team of the film with some of the bigger names in Indian movies, the film’s creative team to the film’s makers and the filmmakers are not only a huge name in the film industry.
DC is being directed by Arun Matheswaran and Lokesh Kanagaraj is playing the lead role. The film is produced by Sun Pictures and Wamiqa Gabbi is also in the film. The title refers to the characters Devadas and Chandra, played by Lokesh and Wamiqa respectively. Lokesh is best known for movies like Vikram, Kaithi, Master, Leo and Coolie and has already been involved in front of the camera.
Mahesh Babu’s appreciation has added another dimension of interest to the movie. The actor is known to have publicly acknowledged and praised the work of filmmakers and performers from all parts of the Indian film industry. His earlier praise for Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vikram was one of those examples. After watching Kamal Haasan’s action thriller in 2022, Mahesh described it as blockbuster cinema and a new-age cult classic, praising Lokesh’s direction and Anirudh Ravichander’s music as well.
That early connection makes Mahesh Babu’s appreciation of it all so interesting for movie fans. The actor has previously admitted that he loves Lokesh’s filmmaking approach and he loves the music of Anirudh too and he loves that Anirudh works on big movies as well. Anirudh is one of the most sought-after composers in Indian cinema, especially in the context of movies that rely on his background score and great music themes.
Anirudh’s reaction has only fueled the conversation about Mahesh Babu’s praise. Whenever a major star publicly appreciates another filmmaker or musician, the exchange can quickly become a talking point among fans. In this case, Mahesh, Lokesh and Anirudh are the ones to be appreciated for some of the biggest developments in contemporary South Indian cinema.
Mahesh Babu is preparing himself for Varanasi, his big project with SS Rajamouli. The project has become one of the most followed Indian movies for the first time as Mahesh Babu and Rajamouli work together. The production has been shot in a number of international and Indian locations like Varanasi.
Mahesh Babu is still prominent with the scale of Varanasi. His involvement in the project has created expectations among Telugu audiences as well as moviegoers in India and abroad. The film is being marketed as a big adventure, with Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran among the actors. The project will also extend Mahesh Babu’s reach into the international market.
Lokesh Kanagaraj is also established as one of the most celebrated, accomplished, and influential directors in Indian commercial cinema. He has made movies that are all action, all strong characters, all connected stories and the most technically ambitious. His work has also attracted an audience beyond Tamil Nadu, and as a result of his work, the films are very much appreciated and the audience is very much in the Telugu, Hindi and other languages.
Anirudh Ravichander is also an important part of this new generation of South Indian commercial cinema. His collaboration with top directors and stars has generated a number of well-known soundtracks and background scores. He is also associated with Lokesh’s forthcoming collaboration with Allu Arjun, which is quite a high-profile project.
The latest wave of Mahesh Babu-Lokesh-Anirudh buzz is therefore indicative of the trend of a crossover between the Tamil and Telugu film industries. The big stars and filmmakers no longer have to work with a single country or group of people; there are collaborations and appreciation and interest in the film industry in many languages. Social media has been faster than ever before to see what a celebrity's reaction to a film or an actor/filmmaker would do, and reach millions of people instantly.
The conversation between Mahesh Babu, Lokesh Kanagaraj and Anirudh Ravichander is one more reason to watch DC and the projects for these big names. Mahesh continues to pursue ambitious Varanasi, Lokesh is in a balancing act of acting and filmmaking and Anirudh is one of the busiest composers in the industry. Their love of work shows how that is something we are seeing more and more in South Indian cinema.
With more details about DC coming out in the future, audience interest is expected to stay high. Mahesh Babu’s praise has been a further boost for the project and so has Anirudh’s response, making the interaction even more appealing to fans. With some of the most prominent names in the industry, DC is slowly emerging as a project that movie lovers in different parts of the world are going to be closely following.
