Director Sreenu Vaitla thought that Mahesh is carrying forward his father, the late Krishna’s stardom, writing, “Mahesh 50! it's unbelievable! I’m still stuck in the moment I first saw Mahesh in Poraatam. His dedication and passion are outstanding, and the only way to describe him is he’s a director’s dynamite.” He added, “Carrying forward his father’s superstardom and continuing to satisfy fans as a Superstar is not an easy task. As Krishna Garu always said, he has the aura of a Hollywood hero and now, that Aura is set to conquer the global box office with #SSMB29.”
