Mahesh Babu on competition

Superstar Mahesh Babu said he's not interested in numbers game. When asked he'd replace the number one position in Tollywood, a place that has been vacant after megastar Chiranjeevi jumped into politics.

"I am not interested in replacing anyone's position. I always try to better myself as an actor than thinking about these petty things. I correct my shortcomings with each movie and work hard to raise the bar. That is important for any actor or star," he said to a news channel.

He also defended the usage of filthy words in his recently released Businessman. "We never claimed the movie is a family entertainer. It is a gangster movie and that is the way a gangster vents out his anger. I go with the character," he said.

Mahesh Babu also said he's extremely happy with the way the film is doing business at box-office. "It makes me feel extremely happy when I listen to people saying that they are not able to get tickets even after five days of the release."

He confirmed that he's next two films are - Dil Raju produced and Srikantha Addala directed Seetamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu and Sukumar directed movie.
