However, a lesser-known fact is that Trisha once confessed to feeling a little bad while working with the actor.
Throwback to the time, when during an interview with IndiaGlitz Telugu, the actress shared her connection with Mahesh Babu during her early days. She revealed that she had actually known him even before they stepped into the limelight as actors. She shared that they used to go to the same college in Chennai.
"When he was a college student in Chennai, we had common friends. That's how we first met. It was a simple 'hi-bye' kind of friendship then.
None of us knew we'd end up working in films together", she said.
Their casual acquaintance eventually turned into a professional relationship when they teamed up on film sets. But it was during this time that Trisha realised just how committed and hardworking Mahesh Babu truly was.
"Mahesh is a hard worker," she shared. "He would be on the set from early morning until 10 at night. I genuinely felt bad after watching his dedication." She also mentioned that she never saw the 'Guntur Kaaram' actor go back to his caravan.
Even if he's not part of the scene which is being done by other actors he would sit by the monitor, watch and learn.
On the current work front, Trisha's latest film 'Thug Life' starring
has been performing poorly at the box office.

On the other hand, Mahesh Babu is currently working with ace director SS Rajamouli on the tentatively named, 'SSMB29'. The movie is currently in production and also features international star Priyanka Chopra and Malayalam star Prithviraj Sukumaran. Trisha was also seen in Ajith Kumar's recent hit film 'Good Bad Ugly'.
Mahesh Babu who is usually seen in clean-cut and urbane looks, now sports a rugged appearance with long, curly hair and a thick beard, a look that is quite different from his usual style. He has undergone intensive physical training for a bulky and muscular look. The movie is touted to take inspiration from Hollywood's 'Indiana Jones' film series.

War 2: Jr NTR Entry Scene Details Out, Actor To Feature In Dance Number With Hrithik Roshan
Last Updated: Producer Naga Vamsi confirms Jr NTR plays a full-length role in War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan. The action film hits screens on August 14, 2025. Ever since Jr NTR was confirmed to star in War 2, excitement around his role in Yash Raj Films' expanding spy universe has been sky-high. But as buzz around the teaser grew, so did speculation — especially about how much screen time the RRR star would actually get. Now, producer Naga Vamsi has put those rumours to rest. Speaking with Gulte Pro, Vamsi denied reports that Jr NTR would appear for just a portion of the film. 'NTR being there for 30-40 minutes is not true," he said. 'Both of them will be there throughout the film. After the first 15 minutes, Tarak anna will enter, and both of them will dance to a song. It is a commercially packed film." Backing his words with action, Vamsi's Sitara Entertainments has reportedly picked up the Telugu distribution rights for War 2 at a massive Rs 80 crore. On his decision, he added, 'I bought it because all these commercial elements will be there. How everything will come together, even I will watch it with the audience in the morning show. Based on my faith in NTR's judgement, I bought the film." Meanwhile, War 2 has officially wrapped its shoot. The film, directed by Ayan Mukerji, stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in key roles, with Kiara Advani also part of the main cast. Shot across five countries, the movie features six large-scale action set pieces and is set to release in theatres on August 14, 2025, in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. The movie is the sequel to the 2019 action thriller, War and marks the return of Hrithik as Agent Kabir. This time, he is fighting another Indian agent, Vikram (played by Jr NTR), who is the new addition to the franchise. With just a month left for its release, the makers are now all set to unveil the film's official trailer. According to the insiders close to the project, Ayan and YRF have finalised the trailer for this action-packed thriller and plan to release it by mid-next week. 'YRF is lauded for designing trailers that evoke enthusiasm among viewers, and the cut of War 2 is locked with the purpose of generating buzz and intrigue to new heights. The theatrical trailer showcases three leads—Hrithik Roshan, NTR, and Kiara Advani—at their finest, and the team is confident that with an approximately 3-minute cut, it will leave an impression," said a source to Pinkvilla. view comments First Published: July 16, 2025, 09:24 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Rashmika Mandanna opens up about ‘crying for her off days', gets emotional about missing her sister's childhood
Rashmika Mandanna, revealed the emotional cost of her success in a heartfelt interview. Despite rising fame, she shared the pain of missing out on her younger sister Shiman's childhood and the growing distance from home and friends. (Image: Screenshot/Instagram) Rashmika Mandanna, once known primarily for her charm in Telugu cinema, became a nationwide sensation with her Hindi debut Animal. But behind the glamour of superstardom lies an emotional reality that often goes unseen. In a heartfelt interview with Nod Magazine, Rashmika opened up about a void in her personal life that no spotlight could ever fill—the missing years with her younger sister, Shiman. 'I cry for my off days,' she confessed, her voice heavy with emotion. 'I have a sister who is 16 years younger than me; she's about 13 now. And in the last eight years, since I started working, I haven't seen her grow up.' Though Shiman is now almost her height, Rashmika has barely been present through the milestones. Her words resonate with a quiet ache—one that many professionals might relate to, but few expect from someone constantly seen smiling for the camera. Work has not only distanced Rashmika from her sister but also from the comfort of home and friendships. 'I haven't gone home in one and a half years,' she revealed in the interview. 'I don't get to see my friends. Earlier, they would at least include me in the plans. Now they don't even do that. And that's the sad reality.' Her candidness doesn't stem from bitterness but from the fatigue of always being 'on the go.' For actors like her, holidays aren't just breaks—they are emotional landmines, reminders of everything they're missing. Despite the emotional toll, Rashmika is determined not to surrender either world. She recalled her mother's words: 'If you want to excel in your professional life, you will have to sacrifice your personal life, and if you want a personal life, you will have to sacrifice your work life.' But Rashmika refuses to choose. 'I'm someone who will say I will work twice as hard, but I'll make both of them work. That's an everyday battle.' This struggle—to preserve family bonds while maintaining a relentless work pace—is one that many silently endure. But few speak of it with the vulnerability and clarity that Rashmika does. What makes the Mandanna family story more compelling is how consciously they've protected Shiman from stardom. Rashmika shared that her parents always ensured her sister had a normal life. 'They told her that it's my life, and she shouldn't be involved in it,' she explained. The intention was never to isolate, but to shield. In a conversation with Neha Dhupia, Rashmika even left the host stunned by revealing the vast age gap between her and her sister. Yet, her belief remains steady: 'She should have a normal upbringing. That's what will help her become a better person.' Even amidst the emotional toll of missing out on family moments, Rashmika Mandanna's professional journey shows no signs of slowing down. She is set to star alongside Vijay Deverakonda in Kingdom, a Telugu-language spy action drama releasing on July 31, 2025. The film marks the beginning of a two-part franchise. In Bollywood, she will appear with Ayushmann Khurrana in Thama, a horror-comedy touted as her biggest Hindi project yet, expected to hit theatres in October 2025. Rashmika will also reprise her beloved role of Srivalli in Pushpa 3 – The Rampage, which is scheduled for a 2027 release. Among her upcoming projects is The Girlfriend, a female-centric romantic drama directed by Rahul Ravindran, now in post-production. She also plays a leading role in Mysaa, a pan-Indian warrior film whose first look was unveiled in June 2025. Additionally, Bollywood Hungama reported recently that Rashmika is in talks to play the primary antagonist in director Atlee's upcoming action drama opposite Allu Arjun, although further details remain under wraps.

This actor was once a teacher, fell in love with his student, got married, he is now..., wife is...
Not every actor in Bollywood has the potential to leave a mark on the audience's hearts such that even after decades, his presence can make people go gaga. His fandom has reached great heights, and he receives truckloads of love. If you are wondering who this actor is, then let us tell you we are talking about R. Madhavan. When R. Madhavan was a Teacher Long before R. Madhavan became a heartthrob on the big screen, he was a soft-spoken teacher helping students find confidence. One of those students ended up changing the course of his life forever. Back in 1991, in Kolhapur, a young woman named Sarita Birje enrolled in Madhavan's personality development class. She was preparing for a career in aviation. Who is R. Madhavan's Wife ? After getting her first job, Sarita Birje invited her teacher for dinner as a token of thanks. That evening sparked a connection that quietly grew into something more than just mentor and student. Eight years later, the two were married in a traditional Tamil ceremony. They got married in 1999. This came just a year before his breakthrough in Mani Ratnam's Alai Payuthey (Sakhi in Telugu), which catapulted him to stardom as the charming, relatable lover boy. Now, Madhavan rules the industry with his heart. He is one of the most talented stars in the industry.
