“Good cinema is always a winner and I feel Maharshi totally deserved it” - Mahesh Babu on winning the National Award

Congratulations to you for your film Maharshi winning a National award?

“Good cinema is always a winner and I feel Maharshi totally deserved it” - Mahesh Babu on winning the National Award

Are awards important to you even now after winning so many?
Of course they are important! Specially the National award. It means the world when the hard work and team effort is recognized.

Do you think cinema can change society?
I believe cinema can be a catalyst for social change and as an actor, I consider it a great opportunity to be able to bring the right message to the audience. I am not saying I will only be part of films with a social message. Entertainment is the primary function of cinema. But as actors with voices that are heard, we have a responsibility towards our fans.

Tell me about your next project?
My next project is Sarkaru Vaari Paata. I'm thoroughly enjoying the shooting process and working with a new team.

What is your take on the pandemic?
The pandemic is all around us, which means we should not take things for granted. Covid is far from gone. It is here to stay for a while. I urge people to be vigilant all the time. Wear your mask, sanitize and continue to follow the Covid guidelines. We have to fight this together and we will emerge victorious.

23 Years of Lagaan: “A famous painter heard 'O Paalanhaare' and told me, ‘Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist aisa bhajan nahin likh sakta’” - Javed Akhtar

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track. At a show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon’, the legendary songwriter opened up about this song and confessed that he got this surprising reaction often. He also revealed how he responds to such comments in his trademark humourous style. Javed Akhtar said, “A famous painter, Chanda, called me and said, ‘Javed, tum apne aap ko atheist kehte ho. Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist...
