On the other hand, Mahesh Babu is yet to make a mark of his own in Kerala. Though he enjoys a considerable amount of popularity in Karnataka, Mahesh is still behind Allu Arjun. The idea of releasing the Tamil and Malayalam version of 'Businessman' simultaneously along with the Telugu original, is an attempt to increase his market. He even directed the makers of the film to go for a massive release in Karnataka. Overall, 'Businessman' would be a test for Mahesh's ability to cross boundaries.
Mahesh Babu, who is one of the most desirable men in the country, is at the crucial juncture of his film career. Though Mahesh has got everything to connect with the audience of all sections irrespective of the regions and languages, he just need that wee bit of luck to get over the line. He is one hero in Tollywood, who could even make Bollywood heroes to stand on their toes. Let's hope he will start his dream run in other Industries too!
