Yes, you heard it right. All the returns earned from the Pokiri special shows will be donated to Help Children’s heart operations and education for poor kids through MB Foundation. The fans and distributors expressed their happiness about coming together for a heartfelt gesture. “We will continue to do many charitable activities following the footsteps of Mahesh Babu,” they add.

For the uninitiated, Pokiri is one of the biggest hits in the career of Mahesh Babu, jointly produced by Puri Jagannadh and Manjula Ghattamaneni (sister of Mahesh). The film is the story of a wayward yet no-nonsense goon Pandu, who falls in love with a fitness instructor Shruti. Their love life falls apart when the former resists her advances. Later, Pandu locks horns with a notorious don.

The Nandi award-winning film was cinematographed by Shyam K Naidu and edited by Marthand K Venkatesh. Prakash Raj, Nasser, Ashish Vidyarthi, Brahmanandam too play important roles in the film. Mani Sharma’s music for the actioner was a key reason behind the film attaining cult status among Telugu audiences. The film, currently streaming on Hotstar, was also remade in Tamil, Hindi, Bengali and Kannada languages.
