It is indeed rare to catch Mahesh Babu on a TV show unless it is an Evaru Meelo Koteeswarulu (EMK) hosted by Jr NTR or an Unstoppable with Nandamuri Balakrishna.

As reported earlier, Mahesh Babu will grace the upcoming episode of Dance India Dance Telugu along with his daughter Sithara for the first time ever. The teaser of the forthcoming episode that surfaced online has left fans on tenterhooks. Mahesh can be seen walking in along with Sithara as host Akul Balaji welcomes him. He watches her dance to his popular song ‘Penne Penne’ from his recent release Sarkaru Vari Paata. Latest reports reveal that Mahesh and Sithara will watch the performances of the contestants and it will be a two-part episode which will telecast on consecutive weekends.

The show has been a revolution in different languages, and I am happy to see the Telugu version is bringing raw talent from humble backgrounds into the limelight. I must say that the participants are incredibly talented and hope they make the most of this opportunity to achieve their dreams and inch closer to their ultimate dream.
