Watch: Mahesh Babu’s Strategy An Inspiration Says Roshan Meka

Roshan Meka recently saw the release of his second film, Champion for Christmas. After the release, M9 News journalist Nishant spoke to him about the film’s strengths and weaknesses, audience feedback, career choices, parenting, and upcoming projects in a detailed conversation.

During the interaction, questions were raised about the film’s flaws. These included whether telling the story of Bhairanpally within half the film felt over ambitious, if Roshan appeared too young for an intense subject, and whether the writing explored only surface level ideas.

Roshan also spoke about the influence of his parents, Srikanth and Ooha. He explained how their experiences shaped his understanding of cinema and helped him develop a grounded approach to choosing roles and building his career in films.

When asked about stars whose career choices inspire him, Roshan pointed to Mahesh Babu. He said he especially admired Mahesh Babu’s film choices starting from Takkari Donga, noting how those films connected with both family audiences and younger viewers.

The discussion also touched on nepotism in the industry. Roshan clarified that his father was not instrumental in setting up his projects with Raghavendra Rao, Swapna Cinemas, or Sithara, adding that he is focused on carving his own path.

Speaking about future projects, Roshan revealed he is working on a romantic comedy with Sailesh Kolanu, planned for release within six months. He also confirmed a commitment to a film with Allu Aravind Garu and ongoing talks for Jatayu.

Jatayu was earlier pitched to Vijay Deverakonda by Dil Raju and Indraganti Mohan Krishna. Later, reports suggested that Prabhas would take up the project. Roshan invited viewers to watch the full interview for a more engaging discussion.
