Speaking at the pre-release event of 'Sammohanam', Mahesh Babu was short and sweet. He was there because of the bond he shares with Sudheer Babu.

"Sudheer rocks it with his speech whenever he is at an event of my film. But today, he is subdued. I haven't been able to support Sudheer with the exception of attending functions like this one. He has achieved everything on his own and I am very proud of him," the 'Bharat Ane Nenu' actor said.

"Being here, I can sense super-hit vibes all around. 'Sammohanam' will definitely be a big hit. A while ago, Naresh garu was talking to me about this movie with so much excitement. I had never seen him so excited about a movie. Dil Raju garu, too, is very optimistic," he added.

Mahesh quipped that 'Ashta Chamma' is one of his favourite movies not for the reason that its heroine (Swathi Reddy) is mad about him! As she said it, the Prince of Tollywood could be seen smiling infectiously.

"I welcome Aditi (Rao Hydari) to Telugu cinema. I found her brilliant in Mani Ratnam sir's film ('Cheliyaa') and 'Padmaavat'," he said.

Mahesh signed off by greeting his fans and wishing that they will bless Sudheer and his film.
