Can Mahesh Babu do Comedy?

Audiences have seen enough of Mahesh Babu in underplaying character of ‘Athadu’ or overplayed ‘Murari’ along with mass masala ‘Pokiri’ and versatile ‘Okkadu.’ In fact these four are stepping stones for Prince to stardom. The new angle in Mahesh was tried by Trivikram Srinivas with ‘Kahelaj’ that hasn’t been received very well.

Now, director Srinu Vytla’s ‘Dookudu’ is more publicized as a laughing riot with a typical Mahesh timing. The big and doubtful question is…can Mahesh Babu fulfill the comedy character (even though there might be strong action in film)? Difference is that, Triikvram has tried entirely new characterization while Srinu Vytla who relies more on regular commercial elements without trying innovative things might get right on goal. An answer could arrive in next 18 hours. Wish that Brahmi, MS and others do not dominate Mahesh…!
