When Sreemanthudu was announced as the title of Mahesh's film, there was general feeling in the industry that it reminds good old days of Telugu cinema.
There was a time when films had titles like Ardhangi, Asthulu Antasthulu, Goppinti Ammayilu, etc. Of course, then came the era of titles like Idiot. So many had positive comments when Sreemanthudu was finalised as the title for Mahesh's latest film.
Well, if Mahesh is Sreemanthudu, then the social media network is now full of jokes about 'Dhanavanthudu'. Just in case you didn't guess it already, 'Dhanavanthudu' happens to be Brahmanandam. There are many spoofs online where Mahesh's face has been replaced with that of Brahmanandam's and he has been labelled 'Dhanavanthudu'.
But the tailpiece of this story is that while 'Dhavanthudu' is a prank, fact remains that Brahmanandam is indeed a rich man in the industry.
Having started his career in '80s, he has been in demand consistently and it is common knowledge that he charges a good amount for his call sheets these days.
He is in high demand and the money he makes is said to be mind-blowing. So even if 'Dhavanthudu' is a mere spoof, fact remains that Brahmanandam in indeed the 'rich man' of Telugu film fraternity.
