Deepika Padukone Wants to Work with Mahesh Babu and NTR: Calls Them Her Favorites

Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone continues to make bold moves in the Telugu film industry. After starring alongside Prabhas in Kalki 2898 AD, she now works on another major Telugu film opposite Allu Arjun, under the direction of Atlee. However, what truly grabbed everyone’s attention isn’t just her current lineup, it’s her recent comments about Mahesh Babu and Jr NTR that sent social media into a frenzy.

Deepika Padukone Talks About Mahesh Babu and NTR

In a recent interview, Deepika Padukone openly praised Tollywood stars Mahesh Babu and NTR. She said, “I’m a fan of Mahesh and Tarak in Tollywood. Both are brilliant actors and exceptional dancers. I’d love to work with them.” Her direct and enthusiastic response sparked a huge buzz among fans across the Telugu states.

Because Deepika trained in dance and understands what it takes to deliver powerful performances, her praise for their dancing skills struck a chord with fans. Many of them now hope to see her share the screen with both stars in upcoming films.

Deepika Clearly Changes Her Take on Tollywood Stars

Netizens quickly dug up an old video clip where someone asked Deepika to name her favorite Telugu star. Back then, she mentioned only Mahesh Babu, and she took a long pause before answering. That video once went viral due to her hesitation. But now, Deepika clearly expresses admiration for both Mahesh and NTR, showing a noticeable shift in her opinion.

Whether she gained a better understanding of Tollywood or grew more fond of its stars over time, fans seem to enjoy this change. Some social media users even joked, “Welcome to the Telugu fan club, Deepika. Membership granted!”

Deepika Builds a Stronger Presence in Telugu Cinema

After she walked out of Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s film Spirit due to creative disagreements, Deepika quickly redirected her focus. She chose new Telugu projects that align with her vision. While she lost the opportunity to work with Prabhas again in Spirit, she jumped right into a new film with Allu Arjun and continued to show interest in Tollywood’s top stars.

Through her recent words and choices, Deepika shows that she isn’t just making guest appearances in Telugu cinema, she aims to become a solid part of it. With the buzz already growing, fans now eagerly wait to see her on screen with Mahesh Babu or Jr NTR. And by the looks of it, Tollywood might just witness some exciting star pairings soon.
