Everybody opined that Mahesh Babu already briefed that he has no political aspirations nor he made any remarks against Telangana movement but why was he targeted? At a time when the movie buffs are clueless as to why the T-activists targeted Mahesh Babu's Dookudu shooting at Vikarabad, it was reported that ATV producers are responsible for this attack.

Apparently, ATV management purchased few acres of land in Vikarabad. They promised the villagers (who are sacrificing the land) that they would construct a steel factory and even provide employment to all the localities. They had even rolled out offer letters to everyone but after giving the land, the ATV guys gave the job to all outsiders. Now this has badly hurt  the Vikarabad villagers and they have decided to attack the ATV in some way or the other. Remember, they even stopped the shooting of 'Bindaas', which was also produced by ATV.

Even Megastar Chiranjeevi has condemned attack on the shooting of Mahesh Babu's Dookudu. Saying that its not the right kind of attitude and spirit to be evinced. Since TRS activists were there at the shooting spot they have lent support to the villagers moment and disturbed the shooting. This means T-students are not against Mahesh Babu but against Dookudu film's producers.
