Mahesh Babu (born Mahesh Ghattamaneni on 9 August 1975) is an Indian actor, producer, media personality, and philanthropist known for his works in Telugu cinema. He owns the production house G. Mahesh Babu Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. The younger son of veteran Telugu actor Krishna, Mahesh made his cameo as a child artist in Needa (1979), at the age of four, and acted in eight other films as a child artist. He made his debut as a lead actor with Rajakumarudu (1999) and won the State Nandi Award for Best Male Debut.
Mahesh acted in Srikanth Addala’s Telugu family drama film Brahmotsavam—co-starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Kajal Aggarwal, and Pranitha Subhash—which marks Mahesh’s first straight Tamil film. While the film underperformed at the Boxoffice, the Deccan Chronicle stated that Mahesh Babu was its saving grace. The film was criticized by the public, due to the lack of a proper story. Mahesh stated that this was an error of judgement, where he had picked the wrong director.
