DOB and More fanaticism

I don't think mahesh's DOB is correct, I think previously it was given 1972 in a local telugu news paper, how come here it has become 1974. This article needs more correction rather being more fanatic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.197.250.210 (talk) 13:26, 18 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I guess we have enough evidence for DOB here 123, hence removing POV tag. Oniongas (talk) 02:47, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Removed from article
I've removed the following section as it's a bit flowery and is pretty much covered in the filmography table.

Mahesh DOB is 9-Aug-1975. Which he only revealed yesterday on twitter. And one more thing is Khaleja movie name has been replaced with Mahesh Khaleja. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.159.160.58 (talk) 06:07, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Per Font unless there is a specific reason for changing the font size, we leave fonts normal - there is no reason to reduce the font size.

Per WP:MOSBOLD we only use bolding in very limited situations and to make award wins stand out is NOT one of them. Active Banana    (bananaphone  18:54, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

In 2014, he starred in the psychological thriller, 1: Nenokkadine which reached $1.225 million in its first weekend, and remained one of the best openings ever for an Indian film in the United States.[11][12] He was then starred in Aagadu, which became the highest opening weekend Indian film in U.S. box office beating Bollywood films like Krrish 3 and Kick.

I want to add the idlebrain article about #athadu success. http://www.idlebrain.com/news/2000march20/athadumintsmoney.html Athadu is also not a cost failure for the producers. Please correct it. The producers of Athadu are in profits with the satellite renewal. "But, the producers are in profits if you take a long term look. Athadu’s satellite rights period of 7 years is over now and the producers have renewed the satellite rights to MAA TV for a record amount of 3.5 crores. No other Telugu film’s satellite rights were renewed to any TV company to such a staggering amount. That shows the classic nature and repeat value of Athadu. Athadu was also a record breaking hit in overseas among Telugu films. The house set constructed for Athadu is being converted into studio and is being rented out to other film shoots. The construction of the house was budgeted into Athadu butget. But the rent of that house should also be considered as a peripheral revenue of Athadu. Trivikram himself has shot his next film Jalsa in Athadu house and Geeta Arts had to pay one lac a day as location charges to Athadu house. Such is the revenue potential of Athadu film"
