Prince Mahesh Babu and director Trivikram Srinivas believe in each other more than any of the director-hero combinations in the industry. The efforts they put in for ‘Khaleja’ and specially the characterization of Seetharama Raju extempore the rapport that is developed between these two.
Super Star Krishna was famous for horse riding sequences in his Cow Boy and James Bond movies. Same was expected during the introduction fight of ‘Khaleja’ where in Mahesh Babu drives a bike which is chased by horses. Disappointing element was that many of the Mahesh Fans expected Mahesh to ride a horse then followed by a chasing sequence.
Mahesh gives a right answer saying, ‘Earlier we too have thought the same of using a horse but we came across ‘Magadheera’ for a while and then went for bike that will be pulled from the sand. Every one knows that ‘Magadheera’ has got the best horse riding sequences and anything below their standard wouldn’t be liked by audience. So, we went on for a change.’
Any how, ‘Khaleja’ has got the right response and that is how creative minds go for the working.
