Krishna used to make sure that the weekend filming of his films took place at the VGP Universal Kingdom so that he could spend time with him.

Mahesh babu was born Into a family of five kids, Babu is the fourth child. Ramesh Babu, his older brother, was a film producer and actor. The oldest sister of Mahesh Babu, Padmavathi, is married to industrialist and Telugu Desam Party politician Galla Jayadev. Manjula, his older sister, works as an actress, producer, and director in movies. His younger sister Priyadarshini is married to Sudheer Babu, who later made his acting debut in a Telugu film.

The Telugu actress and director Vijaya Nirmala was Babu’s stepmother, and his stepbrother is the actor Naresh.

mahesh babuBabu donates 30% of his annual income to charity, yet he likes to keep the majority of his humanitarian endeavors a secret. He joined the Men Against Rape and Discrimination (MARD) movement in August 2013 and lent his voice to a Javed Akhtar poem that was translated into Telugu. He was chosen in 2013 to serve as the goodwill ambassador of the Heal-a-child Foundation, a nonprofit that gives financial aid to families of children with life-threatening illnesses to help with medical expenses. In October 2014, he gave Rs. 25 lacks to the Andhra Pradesh chief minister’s relief fund for the cyclone-devastated region’s rehabilitation. Afterward, 25 lacks were given by Krishna and Vijaya Nirmala.

In February 2015, Jayadev declared that Babu would adopt Burripalem, a tiny panchayat in Tenali where Krishna resides, and take care of the community’s basic needs, including providing clean drinking water and enhancing the roads and drainage systems. Later, Namrata Shirodkar was quoted as adding that after speaking with Telangana’s Minister of Rural Development K. T. Rama Rao, they had decided to adopt Siddapur village in the Mahbubnagar district.

mahesh babu sonIn support of Arjun’s promotional efforts, his supporters organized a rally in Warangal in September 2004 that both Babu and the filmmaker Gunasekhar attended. It is alleged that he and his supporters broke into two video stores and attacked the owners for peddling pirated CD copies of the film. Together with five other people, he was the main defendant in cases involving IPC sections 448 (criminal trespass), 427 (mischief), and 366 (kidnapping).

Later, the then-chief minister, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy, was approached by a delegation from the Telugu film industry, which featured D. Suresh Babu, Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, Allu Aravind, and his dad Krishna. Babu claimed that even though cases had been brought against the man selling bootleg CDs “based on incorrect information,” not a single case had been brought against him. This was the “funniest” aspect of the situation, in his opinion. Actor Pawan Kalyan openly supported Babu during the entire episode. Babu turned himself into the district court in September 2004 and returned in April 2006. Following the final hearing in July 2006, Babu and the other defendants were cleared.

QUOTES

  1. mahesh babu familyWho cares and remembers if my last film was a success? I need to work harder.
  2. When my film flops, I believe it is my mistake. There have been times when I didn’t come out of my house because my films didn’t do well. I lock myself in for months. I don’t talk to people. I feel bad for producers, directors, for those who lost money. It’s never about myself or my career alone.
  3. Being a father is the most important thing if you ask me. It changed me as a person and gave me an all-new life.
  4. As long as I am acting, I will do only Telugu films. I want to take Telugu films to the world. Everyone should talk about our films.
  5. I don’t have any dream role. I give my 100% to every character I play, and when the film clicks, it automatically becomes a dream role.
  6. I don’t want to smoke on screen, as I will be sending the wrong message to my fans, and I appeal to my costars too, to avoid smoking scenes if possible. When people say they take hits and flops in their stride, I personally feel that they are just lying. Of course, I’m upset when my movies flop. I take it very personally.
  7. I struggled to kick the habit – I would make a decision to give up smoking, but it was hard. I couldn’t resist the urge to steal a smoke. It was at that time that I was gifted Allen Carr’s book ‘The Easy Way to Stop Smoking.’ After I read that book, I didn’t touch a fag again.
  8. The only thing I have learned over the years is that if you enjoy your work and put in your best efforts, it will show. If you follow this process, things work out. But if you go chasing a formula, success will elude you.
  9. When I work on a movie, I never aim for records, collections or the number one position. I always concentrate on my work and look for ways to improve my acting abilities. I also advise my co-stars not to concentrate on these pretty issues and just focus on acting.
  10. Over the years, with all the experience, I’ve become more mature about the subjects I pick. I have a better understanding of what works at the box office. Once the story is finalized, I surrender to the director and follow him. After that, my performances speak for themselves.
  11. I always believe that one can’t interfere in another’s work. Once I start work on any film, I surrender myself completely and blindly follow the director.

CONTROVERSIES

mahesh babu new movieAfter he made a declaration about his Bollywood debut, actor Mahesh Babu attracted a lot of unwanted attention from fans all over the nation. He made the widely-discussed claim on Monday at the premiere of the trailer for his upcoming production, “Major” (May 9).

Mahesh Babu responded when asked why he doesn’t make movies in Bollywood, “Bollywood can’t afford me.” On social media, the remark gained popularity, and everyone was discussing it. Finally, Mahesh Babu explained the remark and what he really meant.

“I’ve wanted to work on Telugu movies forever. And I’ve always wanted Telugu movies to be successful nationally. Why should we leave our industry behind and enter another one, I believe strongly. I’m thrilled that our movies are getting seen there (in North India). During the advertising for his forthcoming movie “Sarkaru Vaari Paata,” actor Mahesh Babu said, “Our movies are going well at the pan-India level and my dream is coming true.

mahesh babu new movieMahesh Babu earlier discussed his decision to stick to Telugu films and avoid the Hindi film industry. I don’t need to shoot Hindi movies, he had declared at that point. I only need to make a Telugu movie, and it will be seen by people all over the world. You would like to be able to work on (just) Telugu movies.

Mahesh Babu will return to the big screen professionally with “Sarkaru Vaari Paata,” which opens in theatres on May 12. The film was written and directed by Parasuram. Together with Mahesh Babu, other actors in the film include Keerthy Suresh, Samuthirakani, Vennela Kishore, Subbaraju, and many more.
Promoting his film “Major,” in which actress Adivi Sesh plays a crucial part, is another way Mahesh Babu keeps himself occupied. The story of Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan, who died in 2008 during the Mumbai Taj Attack while attempting to protect civilians from terrorists, is the inspiration for the film.
