“The mind set of our heroes is different,” observes Ravi Babu comparing our Telugu heroes to Hollywood and Bollywood heroes like Shahrukh Khan who played a father of an eight-year old in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ in the beginning of his career.
Amitabh Bachan too played an old man in ‘Kabhi Kabhi’ when he was on peaks of his career. Ravi Babu questions howmany of hours are open to this kind of mentality. Even if they play such roles, they want dual roles so that they have a younger version.
For him, his ‘Pandi Pilla’ (piglet) is his Superstar when he is making a film on a piglet. So for the next six months that piglet will remain his superstar. He says his thought process is like ‘with whoever he makes a film, that person is his superstar till he completes the film’.
