"I think awards rejuvenate one's
spirits and bestow responsibility. I strive hard to live up to
it every time," Mahesh told IANS.
Close on the heels of his film "Pokiri" becoming a hit, he
bagged the Andhra Pradesh award for his intense performance in "Athadu".
"I am truly excited (about the award). I heard this news while
dubbing for my next film - 'Sainikudu' - and immediately
sought the blessings of my father," said Mahesh, who
is veteran actor Krishna's son.
The actor added: "Without sounding pompous, I can say I knew
that 'Athadu' would be a hit as soon as I heard the story and my
confidence stands vindicated. I should also thank director
Trivikram for giving me such a good role.
"I bagged special jury awards for three films and the best actor
award for two out of the seven films I have acted in. My father
told me that it is a rare achievement to bag so many awards in
such a short span and urged me to do more good films. I have
resolved to follow his advice by picking meaty roles." This year
went well for Mahesh.
"2006 has given me lot of happiness. My film 'Pokiri' was a hit,
my sister got married and I became a father. It has given me
both professional and personal happiness. I am also looking
forward to another interesting film - 'Sainikudu' - this
year."
He promises that "Sainikudu" will be a full-blown
entertainer "with slick action and well-mounted songs".
