Many times Super Star Mahesh Babu despite scoring hits at the box office has been accused of turning extremely monotonous and averse to risk taking. His recent actions too proved the same. He rejected Sukumar who planned to show him as a fighter against the Nizam and also rejected another story in which he planned to show Mahesh taking on red sand smugglers.
Even reports came that Mahesh rejected a story from Sundeep Reddy Vanga of Arjun Reddy fame as he planned to show him in a never seen before bold avatar. In all these roles, Mahesh is expected to enact breathtaking daredevilry stunts. While many wondered why Mahesh Babu is averse to risk taking, now people say they have found out answer to this mystery.
It is known that recently many Tollywood stars got injured enacting high voltage action scenes. They included Ram Charan, NTR while shooting for RRR multi starrer, Sandeep Kishan while shooting for Tenali Ramakrishna BA BL and Naga Shaurya while shooting for Ashwathama.
Earlier even stars like Manchu Vishnu, Manchu Manoj, Prabhas, Rana suffered injuries thus hampering the film schedules. Mahesh feels enacting high voltage stunts and getting injured will disrupt shooting schedules increasing cost of production. So he prefers stories in which his role just passes through the motions with little bit emotions and social message which is enough to score a hit at the box office.
