With the big box office numbers and the massive impact it has created, an NGO recently held a special screening of Maharshi for children where a workshop was also incorporated on social issues highlighted in the movie.
Maharishi has marked a huge success on the box office and has joined the 100 crore club in just two weeks of its release. Superstar Mahesh Babu's wife Namrata Shirodkar shared a post on her Instagram with the caption, "Touched & humbled with the sweet gesture by @peoplehelpingchildrenngo & 'Asritha & Balatejassu Homes' NGOs for arranging a special screening of Maharshi for the children upon their request. Glad to know that they were taught about farming and farmers issues. It's lessons like these, that would help every child in becoming socially sensitive and responsible. Sending lots of love to all the children! #CelebratingMaharshi#FarmerisKing #WeekendAgriculture."
