Mahesh Banu is synonymous with masculine charm in Telugu land. But, as the growing depth and substance of his performance over the past 15 years shows, there's more to the actor than just good looks. Releasing this week, Spyder, directed by A.R. Murugadoss, marks yet another milestone for Mahesh -- surprising his earlier blockbusters like Pokiri (2006), Businessman (2012) or Srimanthudu (2015). Having already wowed Tamil and Telugu audiences, it eared $1 million on its debut in US theatres on September 26.
At home, critics are praising the smart, story-focused thriller. "It's an out-and-out Murugadoss film in the style of Ghajini (2008) or Thupaki (2012), in which he keeps the audience guessing,” Mahesh explained a few days before the film’s release. Just moments before, he had caused a temporary blip in the time-space continuum of Hyderabad simply by stepping outside Annapurna Studios—where he’s shooting another film with director Koratala Siva.
