About Khaleja
Released in 2010, Khaleja is a Telugu action-comedy film that showcased a different side of superstar Mahesh Babu. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Trivikram Srinivas, the movie was produced by C. Ashwini Dutt under the banner of Vyjayanthi Movies. Co-starring Anushka Shetty as the female lead, the film also featured prominent actors like Prakash Raj, Shafi, and Rao Ramesh in pivotal roles.
In Khaleja, Mahesh Babu plays a rugged taxi driver who stumbles into a remote village plagued by a mysterious illness. As he uncovers the truth, he is drawn into a larger-than-life conflict involving corruption, spiritual belief, and environmental degradation. Trivikram's screenplay infused the narrative with witty dialogues, philosophical undertones, and a blend of action and humour. While the film received mixed reviews upon its release and had an average run at the box office, it has since achieved cult status among fans.
