Hyderabad: South Indian cinema sensation Mahesh Babu has landed in legal trouble after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) summoned him in connection with an alleged money laundering case. The superstar is accused of receiving funds from two real estate firms embroiled in fraudulent activities.
The case revolves around Sai Surya Developers and Surana Group, firms suspected of selling unauthorized plots and engaging in financial irregularities. Reports indicate that Mahesh Babu received ₹5.9 crore, including a questionable ₹2.5 crore cash payment from these firms. Authorities suspect this sum could be linked to illicit financial transactions.
Mahesh Babu has been asked to appear before ED officials on April 28, 2025, to provide his statement regarding the matter. Sources suggest that his endorsement of these real estate projects influenced investors’ trust, making his alleged financial dealings a focal point of the investigation.
The inquiry is expected to shed light on the depth of his involvement, while fans eagerly await his response. Whether the superstar clears his name or faces deeper scrutiny remains to be seen.
