Fans follow their favorite stars in many aspects such as wearing same clothes, sporting similar hairdo etc. College students used to carry cycle chains after Nagarjuna’s Shiva release. Freshly, Superstar Mahesh Babu has inspired youth to ride bicycles. In his latest film Srimanthudu directed by Koratala Siva, Mahesh Babu was seen driving bicycle. Now, youth started using bicycles in place of mortar bikes even for long rides. It has become new trend in Telugu states.
Usually, employees working in IT and other industries wouldn’t show interest on bicycles. Owing to Srimanthudu effect, demand for the two-wheeler has been increased. It is a known factor that bicycle riding is good for health and it will also reduce pollution. Using cycles is compulsory in several areas in China.
Unfortunately, India doesn’t have such strong rules. If star heroes from various industries ride bicycles in their films, most of people in the country will make a hobbit of using the pollution less vehicle.
