Mahesh Babu tied the knot with his co-star Namrata on 10 February 2005 in Mumbai, during the shooting of their film “Athadu”. The couple welcomed their firstborn, a boy, on August 31, 2006. Later on July 20, 2012, they became parents yet again as they were blessed with a baby girl, whom they named Sitara.
On the professional front, Mahesh Babu is busy with SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus, believed to have been titled “Globe Trotter”.
Sharing a major update, the ‘RRR’ maker posted: “Dear Cinema Lovers in India and around the world, as well as fans of Mahesh, It has been a while since we began shooting, and we appreciate your eagerness to know about the film.”
“However, the story and scope of this film are so vast that I feel mere pictures or press conferences cannot do it justice. We are currently working on something to showcase the essence, depth, and immersive world we are creating. This will be unveiled in November 2025, and we are trying to make ita NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN reveal. Thank you all for your patience,” he added.
