Superstar Mahesh Babu is the highest followed hero on social media not only in Tollywood but in the entire southern film industry. In a latest feat, the actor has reiterated his popularity yet again, with his official Facebook page clocking over 14 million followers.

Mahesh’s new feat on Facebook is followed by Twitter (11.2 million followers and Instagram 6.5M followers). Even though Mahesh has not acted in any pan-India film till date, he fan base keeps increasing in the southern states and across North India, as most of his movies get dubbed in other Indian languages.

And finally, the suspense surrounding the actor who will be playing the main antagonist opposite Allu Arjun in the highly-anticipated pan-India film, Pushpa, has ended. In a massive surprise, acclaimed Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil has been roped in to play Allu Arjun’s nemesis in this Sukumar directorial.

“Our ferocious Pushpraj has an equally fierce opponent,” the makers said, while announcing Mollywood’s Powerhouse Fahadh’s name as the villain of Pushpa. Fahadh is not only popular in Kerala, but he has a huge fan base in South and also in the North. Needless to say, his presence will take Pushpa to the next level.

Pushpa stars young beauty Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead. The film is being produced under Mythri Movie Makers banner in association with Muttamsetty Media. DSP is scoring the soundtrack. Pushpa is slated for release on August 13.
