It was at the trailer launch of Major in Hyderabad that Mahesh Babu had said, "I may sound arrogant, I did get a lot of offers in Hindi. But I think they can't afford me. I don't want to waste my time. The stardom and love I have here in Telugu cinema, I never thought of going to another industry."
Mahesh Babu's clarification
Later, the actor had clarified that he has respect for all languages and he loves all forms of cinema. However, the damage had already been done and quite a few were left surprised by his remarks.
Ram Gopal Varma's reaction
Among all, filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma too was the one to react to Mahesh Babu's statement. To India Today, he said, "It is his choice as an actor. But I honestly didn't understand what he meant by Bollywood can't afford him. I am still unable to figure out what he meant by that because the point is, if you see the recent South Indian films, they were dubbed and released and they made whatever money they did."
