When a film becomes a hit, it does not need anyone’s support. The audience itself takes the film forward and brings strong collections. But when a film receives negative talk, support becomes very important.
This is especially true when there is a major star in the same family. That is why everyone is now looking towards Mahesh Babu.
Mahesh Babu stayed away from Srinivasa Mangapuram from the beginning. Many expected him to join the promotions at the last moment, but he only released a short video and did not take part in any major promotional event.
The film later failed to impress audiences as expected. Many felt that it was not the right launch for Jai Krishna.
At this stage, some believe Mahesh Babu is the only person who can bring fresh attention to the film. Even if he does not support the movie, many feel that he should at least come forward for Jai Krishna.
However, others say it may already be too late.
Mahesh Babu also skipped a recent promotional event related to the film. With this, it appears that he has completely distanced himself from Srinivasa Mangapuram.
