Mahesh Babu Missed, Ali Lucky

Movie lovers cannot forget Yamaleela which gave star status to comedian Ali as a lead hero. The film directed by SV Krishna Reddy attracted with hilarious comedy scenes between Ali, Indraja, Brahmanandam, Satyanarayana, Tanikella Bharani and Kota Sriivasa Rao.

Ali made startling revelation about Yamaleela. He said, “Yama Leela director SV Krishna Reddy at first planned to do the film with Mahesh Babu. When he contacted Krishna and discussed the same with him, he told that Mahesh is yet to complete his education. So Krishna Reddy cast his eyes on me. 

During that time many told him not to cast me in the lead. However he believed on the story and gave me the offer. The film turned out to be super duper hit but still I never felt that I am a great hero. At the same time I did not forego comedian roles."

Ali recently completed 4 decades journey in the industry and shared his excitement about the same.
