Early life
Mahesh was born on 9 August 1975 in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.[9] He was the fourth of the five children of Telugu actor Krishna
and Indira, succeeding Ghattamaneni Ramesh Babu, Padmavathi and Manjula Swaroop and preceding Priyadarshini. Mahesh's
childhood was spent mostly in Chennai under the care of his maternal grandmother Durgamma and the rest of his family.[10] Since
Krishna was busy with his film commitments, Ramesh used to look after Mahesh's academic performance.[9] Along with his siblings,
Mahesh used to play cricket regularly at the VGP Golden beach in Chennai. To spend time with him, Krishna used to make sure that
his films' shoots would be conducted at theVGP Universal Kingdomduring the weekends.[9]
Krishna also made sure that none of his children would reveal his name during their schooling to ensure a peaceful environment.[9]
He was educated at St. Bede's Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School in Chennai where actor Karthi was his schoolmate.[11][12]
Mahesh in an interview said that actor Vijay and he have been longtime close friends and studied at the same college before
establishing themselves in their respective film industries.[13] Mahesh was an above average student. He obtained a bachelor's degree
in commerce from Loyola College in Chennai.[14] After graduating, he met with director L. Satyanand in Vishakhapatnam for further
training in acting which went on for three to four months.[14] Being unable to read and write Telugu, he used to memorise the
dialogues given by his directors during thedubbing phase of his films.[15]
Acting career
Early career and breakthrough (1979–2003)

At the age of four, Mahesh visited the sets of the Telugu film Needa (1979) where its director Dasari Narayana Rao shot a few
Needa marked his debut as a child actor.[16]
sequences of his as a part of the narrative in the presence of the former's brother Ramesh.
During the shoot of Poratam (1983) at Vauhini Studios, after watching Mahesh on the sets director Kodi Ramakrishna suggested to
Krishna that he cast Mahesh in the role of the protagonist's brother. Initially terrified, Mahesh agreed to act in the film after being
persuaded by the film's crew.[16] He went on to act as a child artist in the films Shankharavam (1987), Bazaar Rowdy (1988),
Mugguru Kodukulu (1988) and Gudachari 117 (1989). He played a dual role in the film Koduku Diddina Kapuram (1989). Mahesh
then appeared in Bala Chandrudu (1990), and Anna Thammudu (1990). Later, Mahesh continued his college studies.[17]
In 1999, Mahesh made his debut as a lead actor with the filmRaja Kumarudu, directed by K. Raghavendra Rao and co-starring Priety
Zinta. The film was commercially successful, and people began referring to him with the title Prince.[18] He received the Nandi
Award for Best Male Debut.[19] He starred in two films the following year – Yuvaraju and Vamsi. Following their poor performance
at the box office, Mahesh starred in Krishna Vamsi's Murari the next year. Mahesh called Murari an important film in his career and
the role he played in it one of his favourites.[20][21] Murari was a commercial success and earned him the Nandi Special Jury
Award.[19] Though his 2002 releases Takkari Donga and Bobby performed poorly at the box office, Mahesh received his second
Nandi Special Jury Award for his performance inthe former.[19]
Mahesh had two film releases in 2003, the first one being Gunasekhar's Okkadu co-starring Bhumika Chawla, which went on to
become the highest grossing Telugu film of the year collecting ₹23 Crores at the boxoffice.[22][23] He won his first Filmfare Award
for Best Actor – Telugu for his performance in the film.[24] The other release was Teja's Nijam co-starring Rakshita. The film was
noted for introducing Dolby EX surround system in Telugu cinema.[25] Though the film was a commercial failure,[26] Mahesh
received praise from the critics for his performance in the film, with Vijayalaxmi of Rediff.com calling him the only reason to watch
the film's second half which she termed a routine tale of vendetta.[27] Mahesh won his first Nandi Best Actor Award for his
performance in the film.[28]
Mainstream film acclaim and success (2004–2010)

Manjula produced his next film,Naani, directed by S. J. Surya co-starring Amisha Patel. While its simultaneously shot Tamil version
New featuring a different cast was commercially successful, Naani flopped at the box office.[20] He received the Nandi Special Jury
Award for his performance in his next film, Arjun, directed by Gunasekhar and produced by Ramesh.[29] The failure of Naani
depressed both Mahesh and Manjula, who took a small break in Goa before resuming their other commitments.[30] He chose to act in
Trivikram Srinivas's Athadu, co-starring Trisha Krishnan, whose script had been approved back in 2002 before the production of
Naani and Arjun had begun.[31] Athadu became one of the highest-grossing films of the year.[32] The film was commercially
profitable venture for the producers and distributors.[33] The film benefited Mahesh's career as he won the Nandi Best Actor Award
for his performance in the role of a hired assassin.[34] Athadu collected a share of ₹25 Crores at the boxoffice.[35]
Mahesh collaborated with Puri Jagannadh in 2006 for the film Pokiri, which was jointly produced by Jagannadh and Manjula.[36]
Made on a budget of ₹100 million and shot within six months,[37] Pokiri became the highest grossing Telugu film of all time by the
end of its run, and was screened at the7th IIFA Awards held in Dubai.[38] Mahesh received praise for his performance, with Y. Sunita
Chowdary of The Hindu opining that "Mahesh's understated performance in Pokiri allows him effortlessly to reclaim the title of a

star, overshadowing more questionable recent career choices".
time.[39] Pokiri grossed 67 crores at the boxoffice.[40] That same year, his next film, Sainikudu, co-starring Trisha, was released amid
huge expectations but flopped at the box office.[41]
The following year saw Mahesh acting in the film Athidhi, co-starring Amrita Rao marking her Telugu debut. The film was produced
by Mahesh's brother Ramesh.[42] UTV Motion Pictures acquired the film's distribution rights for₹185 million, which became its first
Telugu film venture.[43] In 2008, Mahesh provided voice-over for the filmJalsa directed by Trivikram Srinivas.[44]
After Athidhi's release, Mahesh took a break from films for seven months; two months later, he signed Khaleja, but the break was
unintentionally extended for two years due to several delays. During this time, Mahesh's grandmother and his wife Namrata's parents
died. Krishna was worried about Mahesh's career as the film's shoot was delayed for so long.[45] Upon release, Khaleja received
mixed reviews from critics and was a commercial failure in India.[46] However, it managed to perform well at the overseas box
office.[47]
Dookudu, Businessman and career setback (2011–2014)

In 2011, Mahesh collaborated with Srinu Vaitla for the film Dookudu, which was inspired in part by the 2003 German tragicomedy
film Good Bye, Lenin!.[48] Co-starring Samantha Ruth Prabhu, the film received positive reviews upon release and became one of the
highest-grossing films of the year. Dookudu had the largest opening for a Telugu film, and collected a share of ₹101.1 million and a
gross of ₹125.8 million on the first day of its release.[49] The Los Angeles Times called Dookudu the "biggest hit you've never heard
of".[50] For his performance in the film, Mahesh won the Best Actor Award at the 2012 Nandi Awards ceremony.[51] He also won the
Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu at the 59th Filmfare Awards South and 1st South Indian International Movie Awards
ceremonies.[52][53] After the film's gross crossed the ₹1 billion mark, Income Tax Department officials conducted a raid on Mahesh's

He later played the role of a mafia kingpin with a hidden personal agenda in the film Businessman, co-starring Kajal Aggarwal and
directed by Puri Jagannadh.[55] Upon the film's release, Mahesh received praise from the critics for his performance in the film, with
Y. Sunita Chowdary of The Hindu writing, "The film has no frills, no vulgar wastage and the hero is practically in every frame; you
hear only his voice, he looks good, sounds good, he also steals the comedian's job. Mahesh plays it straight.".[56] It grossed
approximately ₹187.35 million and collected a share of ₹137.8 million at the global box office on its first day creating an all-time
record in terms of opening day collections.[57] Businessman became one of the highest grossing Telugu films of the year.[58]
Businessman collected a share of 41 crores at the boxoffice.[59] He received a nomination for Filmfare A
ward for Best Actor – Telugu
at both the 60th Filmfare Awards South and the 2nd South Indian International Movie Awards ceremonies.[60][61] By then, Mahesh
was reported to be the second highest-paid actor in South India afterRajinikanth.[62]
Mahesh then began filming forSrikanth Addala's Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu, whose script Mahesh had approved during the
pre-production phase of Dookudu.[63] Co-starring Daggubati Venkatesh along with Anjali and Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Seethamma
Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettubecame the first Telugu multistarrer film to be produced in the last twenty-five years.[64] Released in January
2013, the film became one of the highest grossing Telugu films of the year and
marked the completion of Mahesh's hat-trick of successful films.[65] Mahesh
won the Filmfare Award for Best Actor – Telugu at the 61st Filmfare Awards
South ceremony and the 3rd South Indian International Movie Awards
ceremony.[66][67] He provided voice-over for Srinu Vaitla's Baadshah the same

Telugu film in history at the United States box office at that time.[76] The other release, Aagadu, directed by Srinu Vaitla and co-

Resurgence and recent work (2015–present)

Mahesh collaborated with Koratala Siva for the family drama film Srimanthudu co-starring Shruti Haasan. He co-produced the film
under his newly formed bannerG. Mahesh Babu Entertainment Pvt. Ltd, marking his first film production venture.[79] He opted to do
so in order to control the film's budget, accepting a share in profits in lieu of remuneration.[80] Released on 7 August 2015,
Srimanthudu opened to positive reviews from the critics,[81] was commercially successful, and gained the Filmfare Award for Best
Actor – Telugu at the 63rd Filmfare Awards South for Mahesh,[82] marking his resurgence.[83] Sethumadhavan N. of Bangalore
Mirror stated, Srimanthudu wouldn't have been as effective if it did not have Mahesh Babu who is at his charming best, adding that
[84]
he "underplays the emotional scenes, making them a treat to watch".
The Film was a commercial success, grossing nearly ₹2.0 billion globally on a budget of ₹400—700 million and becoming the
second-highest grossing Telugu film of all time and the highest grossing Telugu-language-only movie. After the film's release, many
actors, bureaucrats and politicians announced plans to develop the backward villages and encouraged the adoption of villages in
Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.[85] Mahesh himself has adopted his native village,Burripalem.[86]
Mahesh acted in Srikanth Addala's Telugu family drama film Brahmotsavam co-starring Kajal Aggarwal, Samantha Ruth Prabhu and
Pranitha Subhash. Originally produced as a bi-lingual, the film would've marked Mahesh's first straight Tamil film. However, later on
the plan was altered due to its disastrous performance at the Telugu box office and the film wasn't released in Tamil.[87] While the
film underperformed at theBoxoffice, 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.[88] Mahesh stated that this was an error of judgement, where he had picked the wrong
director.[89] Mahesh later appeared in the Telugu-Tamil bilingual Spyder, directed by A. R. Murugadoss, which finally marked his
Tamil cinema debut.[90] He has signed to do movies with Puri Jagannath and Vamsi.[91] He has also signed to do a movie with

would address basic needs of the community such as potable drinking water and better roads and drainage systems.[146] Mahesh also
announced that he is working with Telangana's Rural Development ministerK. T. Rama Rao to adopt another village inMahbubnagar
district.[147]
Controversy
In September 2004, Mahesh attended a rally organised by his fans at Warangal for the promotional activities ofArjun. He and his fans
allegedly raided two video libraries and assaulted their owners who were circulating unauthorized CDs of the film. Cases under IPC
section 448 (criminal trespass), section 427 (mischief) and section 366 (kidnap) were registered on Mahesh, who was the principal
accused, and five others.[148] Later, a delegation from the Telugu film industry, including Chiranjeevi, Akkineni Nagarjuna,
Ghattamaneni Krishna, Allu Aravind and Daggubati Suresh Babu, approached the then chief minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy to
intervene in this case. Regarding the issue, Mahesh said that while cases were booked against him, not a single case has been booked
against the person dealing in bootlegged CDs, which he found the "funniest" thing.[149] Actor and filmmaker Pawan Kalyan openly
supported Mahesh throughout the episode.[150] Mahesh surrendered in the district court on 20 September 2004 and appeared before
[151]
the court again on 22 April 2006. The final hearing was held on 7 July 2006, and Mahesh and the others were exonerated.
