Why Mahesh is not interested in periodic or past subjects?

Seetharamaraju. No I don't want to finger that classic. Gudachari 117. I won't ask any director to come up with that character, but they have to narrate such stories to me. Any period film, either by Maniratnam or Krish. Somehow the final versions haven't excited me. 

It takes two seconds to understand that all those films that are either made in the past or subjects that are setup with period backdrop are not at all interesting Superstar Mahesh Babu. This discussion has come up in the wake of Krish's Kanche, whose trailer is quite intriguing and which is now believed that the film of Mahesh-Krish that failed to take off is the same one. That brings us to the point, why Mahesh is not feeling excited about films that deal with the past. Probably the failure of Takkari Donga has hit him so hard that he doesn't want to do any period dramas or remakes of films that are set in past, with Gudachari 117 being an exception. 

Upon reaching this Superstar image, many expected Mahesh to come up with interesting roles that deal with past, future and other. Somehow our hero is dealing only with entertainment based roles but not any substantial ones. Hope he does such very soon.
