Mahesh Babu started his career as a child actor in Needa (1979), alongside his father, Superstar Krishna.

Now, by joining hands with SS Rajamouli, Mahesh Babu is ready to reach new heights.
While he isn’t as widely recognized across India as Allu Arjun or Prabhas, working with such a renowned director opens the door for him to gain not just national but global recognition.
However, this level of fame might come at a cost.
SS Rajamouli is known for elevating actors to superstardom, as seen with Prabhas after Baahubali.
If Mahesh Babu attains global fame, he may have to share much of the credit with Rajamouli.
If the film becomes a massive hit, Rajamouli could receive a big share of praise, as it is ultimately his vision that will be brought to life on the big screen.
How Mahesh Babu handles this dynamic will be interesting to watch.
He shouldn’t let it affect him too much and should take his newfound fame with a pinch of salt. Rather than fixating on credits, he should focus on the bigger battles ahead.
