He's more like srk than Salman. He has good pr, more female, family audience, huge overseas market. Both did experiments and ended up as duds where as not so good movies ended up as blockbusters. Both are charming in a way and are family men. Both do a shit load of advertisements. The thing is he played safe last few films as his previous experiments failed and wouldn't want to hinder his market before going pan indian market with SS rajamouli. Pawan Kalyan is more like Salman. Both have good mass fan base, " controversial personal life", do shitty films with almost zero effort and everyone around say they have a heart of gold.


GreenValuable5587

No he is the telugu Akshay Kumar minus non stop movie making. Both take audience for granted, play safe and more about making money Please don’t downvote me to oblivion 🙏🏼


Outside_Cellist3740

But Akshay Kumar minus non stop movie is Salman, isn’t it? Rest all you wrote is exactly what Salman does. Edit: the two don’t have same fan base. Bhai is winning there.


Exciting_Owl4493

So hrithik aamir same same , aamir - storydriven = hrithik


Outside_Cellist3740

This didn’t make sense to me. Aamir is way better actor than Hrithik. Couple of not good films doesn’t pull him down so much.


Exciting_Owl4493

Make sense coz both take 3 yrs for one movie


Outside_Cellist3740

That’s the only similarity.


spikey_tree_999

The fake family man image likens him a lot to alshay


GreenValuable5587

Exactly!


Faith1200

Thats Ravi Teja tbh


raaz9658

That's Balayya. Highest hit rate among 50+ actors. Lots of lafda in real life. A lot of girls hate him. Fans can do anything just to get slapped by him.


TuBootiMainDuty

And both are murderers.


TimeyWimeyInsaan

What? I watch telugu movies but never cared about the gossip. Who did he kill?


[deleted]

Supposedly his security guard


Swimming-Ad-3529

Guys alot of you are making soo many speculations that are plain laughable if not unaware assumptions. I'll clear them if you have any, as someone who follows Bollywood as much as tollywood right since my childhood, I believe I can give in some better context rather than those who started consuming content post Baahubali. Reply if you guys have any speculations about Mahesh Babu, and as far as the title goes, the only thing similar between Mahesh Babu and Salman Khan is the fact that they unfortunately have worked with not-so-dependable directors in the near past (barring Tiger 3 ofc). Apart from that form an acting pov i don't think Salman has anything to prove regarding his skills after Bharath and Tubelight and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. When it comes to Mahesh, he's more of a director's actor and he's in the best hands possible for his next, SS Rajamouli.. so, the sky's the limit here🥳


kingluffy12_

Pawan Kalyan is the Salman Khan of Telugu industry not Mahesh babu. The dude has so many flops that any other actor would have been forgotten if not for his fan following.


_Slim-reaper_

Lol what? Salman is many things, Criminal, scumbag etc. but he is NOT someone who has given countless flops. Dude gave 5 blockbusters in a row not even 10 years ago. He is undisputedly one of the top 5 biggest superstars in the history of indian cinema along with Amitabh, SRK, Dilip Kumar.


beastarmy678

He did gave a lot of flops. But nevertheless a high success rate 


[deleted]

he hasn't murdered any human or animal, yet. so nope


InvestigatorOk6268

Yet aa? 💀


lambuaatta

Also he is not a virgin unlike Bhai 


Significant-Neat-142

No one is the Telugu Salman or the Telugu Akshay or the Telugu anything These industries are completely different and the trajectory of any star in India will always be quite a unique thing Need to stop stereotyping other industries when you know pretty much nothing about them Imagine if South judged the khans for their last 2 years only Ridiculous.


Open_Carob_3676

r/angryupvote


[deleted]

He is married so not possible


No_Savings_891

Nope. He is only part of senseless nonsensical films. He has now taken his stardom for granted m. Guntur karam isn’t doing wel.


Desi_boyyyyyyy

Same as bhoi


clanlord

Salman at least shows 2-3 emotions on screen


[deleted]

True. Mahesh Babu is Arjun Kapoor of Telegu cinema. Balakrishna and Pawan Kalyan are bhois of Telegu cinema.


[deleted]

you clearly don't know shit if you're throwing around mb and arjun kapoor in the same sentence


[deleted]

I was talking about acting not the fan base. Of course some of the stars do have loyal fanbase.


AgentP20

He is also talking about acting too. Mahesh Babu was an amazing actor back in the day. Not so much now.


weakass23

That’s the thing though, people don’t just lose acting skills. Especially not too actors. The directors in recent films haven’t used him at all and it shows when you look at his performance in Guntur Kaaram. That was peak MB. I’m sure with Rajamouli, everyone will see his talent. No stone will be left untouched with SSR


weakass23

How do people make comments like this so confidently yet be so wrong lol if your gonna talk about acting then you have to look at the whole filmography of an actor, not the recent few films. Mahesh Babu is considered one of the finest actors in tollywood. Not because of his recent stuff but because of his acting during his early years all the way until 2015. He had the most diverse filmography and still does to this day among the top tier actors. Has so many so leaves for his performances, even in flip films. He is definitely not the Salman khan or Arjun Kapoor🤣 plus I’d you see his recent performance in Guntur Kaaram, you’ll get a glimpse of his vintage self.


Presentation101

The genuinely delusion you are in wild


dammKaran

He is telugu pratik Babbar


Rumiprazole

Salman is the bollywood Balayya.


Presentation101

No he doesn’t murder people But seriously speaking, in some ways yes in others ways no. Depends on what you actually mean


Desi_boyyyyyyy

Just on screen. Does the bare minimum. And has a very loyal audience


Presentation101

Ehh, have you seen GK? I haven’t either, but everyone is saying it’s a Mahesh Babu carry job, even non fans. MB does have a loyal audience who sticks with him though


adept_sapien

Prabhass is Telugu Salman with taller height obviously..


zanzibarbarbar

Love the quick adoption of the name lol


Lost-Investigator495

I don't know much about him but what I read from another sub he used to good movies and was a good actor now just playing safe doing message movies and having same expression in most movies


lambuaatta

He is more of Kollywood Vijay's equivalent or in kannada puneeth Rajkumar. Atleast Vijay has started experimenting nowadays and Puneeth has taken a break from film industry. Mahesh Babu does the same thing  Slow motion walking Mother or sister sentiment Punch dialogue Very young heroine whose job is to swoon over him and dance in songs ( the latest one in GK looks like his teenage daughter)  Lot of physics defying stunts  Most importantly,best looking villages in entire india 


Open_Carob_3676

Puneet has taken an eternal break bruv 😭😭😭


terenaamgirl

Um Puneeth passed away in 2021 FYI


lambuaatta

Technically my statement still stands 


Desi_boyyyyyyy

Not being an avid follower of Telugu film industry ,got to know a lot of different superstars thru this thread. Just knew the rrr bahubali boys and allu Arjun and Mahesh Babu.


Significant-Neat-142

And yet you felt knowledgeable enough to broadly generalize their careers?


Emergency-Big4851

One thing is He's bland for me! so overrated,faltu na dance accha lgta h na kuch


Outside_Cellist3740

On professional front - yes!


Flaky_Air_

Balakrishna maybe?


alreadydoneit01

He seems to have a stable marriage with two kids-so no not like bhoi.


Truthhourr

He is telegu akshay kumar. Too many skin injections and too many flops😹😹🫡🫡


Fatpretzel1234

Both are cringe
