The doctor's complaint names Mahesh Babu as the third respondent, accusing him of endorsing the developer and influencing buyers through misleading promotions. The complaint also claims that Mahesh’s endorsement of Sai Surya Developers helped build trust among potential customers. As of now, neither Mahesh Babu nor his team has commented on the matter.
In April 2025, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) had questioned Mahesh Babu as part of a money laundering investigation involving Sai Surya Developers and the Surana Group. The firm’s owner, Kancharla Satish Chandra Gupta, has been under investigation for a while over the defaulting of a major project called Green Meadows. Mahesh Babu was the project’s brand ambassador and was reportedly paid Rs 5.9 crore for his endorsement. The ED stated that the actor was not being investigated as an accused and was likely unaware of the alleged fraud, suggesting he may have endorsed the realty projects without knowing about the scam.
On the work front, Mahesh Babu was last seen in Trivikram Srinivas’ 2023 film 'Guntur Kaaram.' Currently, he is shooting for SS Rajamouli’s highly anticipated jungle adventure film, currently known as SSMB 29. The film, penned by Vijayendra Prasad, also stars Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran in pivotal roles. The movie is being touted as a modern take on the classic Indiana Jones films, and it is generating significant buzz in the entertainment industry.
Mahesh Babu's involvement in this legal case has raised questions about the responsibilities of celebrities when endorsing real estate projects. It highlights the importance of due diligence and the potential consequences of promoting companies involved in fraudulent activities. As the case unfolds, fans and followers of the actor will be closely watching for any updates and statements from his team.
