According to the complaint, a Hyderabad-based doctor and another buyer invested in plots advertised by Sai Surya Developers. They claimed the promotional brochures featured Mahesh Babu and promised attractive deals and valid approvals. Trusting the actor’s reputation, they invested their savings—only to discover later that the layout didn’t even exist. The builder allegedly refunded ₹15 lakh in parts but left a significant amount unpaid.
Mahesh Babu has been named the third respondent in the case, along with Sai Surya Developers and its owner, Kancherla Satish Chandra Gupta. The complaint accuses him of misleading buyers by lending credibility to the company through his endorsement.
This is not the first time Mahesh Babu’s name has been linked to this controversy. In April 2025, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) issued a notice to him in connection with a suspected money laundering case involving the same real estate firm. The ED is investigating a payment of ₹5.9 crore made to the actor, including ₹2.5 crore in cash, raising concerns about unaccounted transactions.
So far, Mahesh Babu has not publicly responded to the allegations. He continues to shoot for his upcoming film, SSMB39, directed by S.S. Rajamouli. The film is highly anticipated, and fans are closely following the developments to see if these legal cases will impact his image or the film's success.
The legal notice and ongoing investigations highlight the importance of due diligence and transparency in the real estate sector, especially when public figures are involved. It also underscores the need for consumers to verify the credibility of projects and endorsements before making significant investments.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story and the progress of Mahesh Babu’s film SSMB39.
