Anand Deverakonda is on the cusp of winning the audience's love. His debut movie, 'Dorasaani', is heading to theatres on July 12.

Ahead of the film's release, the new kid on the bloc is busy giving interviews. In one of his latest interviews, he revealed that Mahesh Babu is his favourite actor. "I will be biased if I consider Vijay Deverakonda, my brother. So, let us put him aside. The one hero whose movies wowed me during my school days is Mahesh Babu. I loved his 'Murari', 'Athadu' and 'Pokiri' a lot. In recent years, so many good actors have been around," Anand said. Incidentally, Mahesh and Vijay share good vibes and the latter was a guest for an event of 'Maharshi' back in April.

Directed by debutant KVR Mahendra, 'Dorasaani' also marks the debut of Rajasekhar's daughter, Shivathmika.
