Trade
Khaleja was in production for about 3 years due to several personal and professional reasons of Mahesh. When released audiences were not able to digest the concept of ‘a god sent man’ and the movie failed to rake in good numbers at the box office. But the movie was in a way a turning point in Mahesh’s career. It portrayed the comedy angle and timing of Mahesh which helped his career a lot at later stages. -
