Mahesh Babu is now on a seventh heaven after his recent back to back blockbusters of 'Dookudu', 'Business man' and 'Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu'. As SVSC collected about 63 crores in just 3 weeks, an ecstatic Mahesh now talks about his future plans, his upcoming projects, his reaction on recent Kamal's issue and his movies with Rajamouli and Mani Ratnam.

How are you enjoying the success of SVSC?

I have been very pleased at the response we have got for SVSC. It has been crossing the collections of 'Dookudu'. Definitely it's been a welcome note for more multi-starrer movies to come by in the future. We have started off a trend of multi-starrers. I have heard that the movie has made record collections in even overseas. I thank the people there for such an overwhelming response.

Have you experienced any change in you after doing SVSC?

I have changed even before the movie and it's not after doing it. The new thing I have learnt is that I have to unlearn many things.

There is a talk once that, you are remaking a film?

I don't remake any movie whether old or of other language. The excitement will be lost when a movie is remade as it is already done. I would like the thrill of making a new project every time. I am strictly against remaking a movie.

How do you feel when your movie is remade?

Then, I would be very happy (laughs)

How do you feel when you are called the No.1?

I never feel no.1. If I had felt so, I wouldn't have done a family movie like SVSC.

Talking about your next film with Sukumar, generally his movies have a different characterization and unexpected screen play. What about your film?

Including them, the film consists of a very good action.

What about the title of the film? It is rumoured as Acharya or Rockstar.

Acharya!!! You really frightened me and I have got shivers in my legs (laughs).It is not titled yet and it's not 'Rockstar' as you mentioned.

What is your reaction on the recent Kamal's issue?

I had seen Kamal sir's press meet in TV and tears welled up in my eyes. It is unfortunate that it happened to such a great actor. I am a big fan of him and as now the issue is settled, I pray the film becomes a block buster there in Tamil Nadu. I am yet to see the film.

What about your future projects?

After Sukumar's, my next movie is with Sreenu Vytla. And I am yet to work with Vamsi Paidipally, Krish and Puri Jagannadh.

What happened to your project with Mani Ratnam?

It's really sad that we have stopped the project for a while due to some budget issues. I have been a big fan of Mani Ratnam. We definitely work together in the future.

When is your film with Rajamouli?

I am excited about the film with him and the sittings have happened. Once the commitments of his and mine are completed, we will work on it.
