Tollywood actor Mahesh Babu, accompanied by director Koratala Siva, brother-in-law and TDP MP Galla Jayadev, and MLC Budda Venkanna prayed Goddess Kanaka Durga at Indrakeeladri in Vijayawada today.
The director and hero visited the famed temple to express gratitude to the goddess for the resounding success of their film
Bharat Ane Nenu at the box office.
Mahesh Babu performed a special puja and obtained the blessings of the priests amidst Vedic hymns.
Mahesh Babu's fans in large numbers thronged the area around the temple, and a large number of devotees who wanted to meet the star broke the cordons and mobbed him. The police had a tough time in controlling the frenzied crowds and escorting Mahesh Babu safely to his car.
After having a darshan of the goddess, the actor and his entourage proceeded to Annapurna theatre at Governorpet, where, too, his fans mobbed him.
