The Balakrishna starrer Jai Simha is doing well at the box office; thanks to his hardcore fans across the world. But one scene from the film is creating a huge buzz. When a fan tweeted a scene from the film in which Balakrishna is seen lifting a Mahindra Bolero single-handedly and wanted to know his reaction, the Chairman of the Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra, tweeted, “Haha. Now all our service workshops won't need any hydraulic lifts anymore to do Bolero check-ups!!”
