Filmmaker SS Rajamouli recently opened up about what impressed him the most while collaborating with Mahesh Babu on their upcoming film, Varanasi.

SS Rajamouli Praises Mahesh Babu & His Disciplined Living During a recent conversation with Variety, SS Rajamouli said, “As an actor, not much surprised me, because I was watching his films from a very long time. I know what he is capable of. What came as a surprise is his work ethic.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by IMAX (@imax) Rajamouli went on to reveal one habit of Mahesh Babu that particularly stood out to him. According to the filmmaker, the actor keeps his phone away throughout the workday, allowing himself to remain completely focused on his work. He said, “He comes into the office without his phone. He keeps the phone in his car and steps into the office. At the shoot, I have never seen him come with the phone into the set. Only after he gets back into the car, he takes his phone.” Rajamouli Reveals Mahesh Babu’s Discipline Inspired Him The filmmaker further shared that Mahesh’s discipline extends beyond simply avoiding distractions. Even during breaks, he prefers to quietly observe everything happening around him instead of reaching for his phone. Rajamouli said, “Sometimes there are two, three hours, he just sits at his table observing all the people who work. He does not get his phone. He just observes.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by SS Rajamouli (@ssrajamouli) Rajamouli also shared that Mahesh’s approach inspired him personally, encouraging him to stay away from his phone while spending time with his family. While Mahesh Babu has long been admired for his performances on screen, Rajamouli’s praise offers a glimpse into the discipline, focus, and professionalism that define him off screen as well, further reinforcing why he continues to be one of the most respected stars in the industry.
