Mahesh Babu Movies List | Complete Filmography

Mahesh Babu, fondly known as the Prince of Tollywood, is one of the most admired and successful actors in Indian cinema. Over the years, he has built a massive fan base across the globe with his charming screen presence, stylish performances, and powerful roles.

terestingly, Mahesh Babu’s journey in films began long before he became a leading man. He first appeared on screen at the age of just four in the 1979 film Needa, directed by Dasari Narayana Rao. As the son of legendary actor Krishna, Mahesh featured in several films as a child artist alongside his father, winning hearts with his natural performances.

One of his most notable child roles was in Balachandrudu (1990), where he played the titular character. After that, he took a break from acting to focus on his education — a decision that showed his grounded and disciplined nature even from a young age.

In 1999, Mahesh made a grand comeback as a lead actor with Raja Kumarudu, which not only marked his debut as a hero but also earned him the Nandi Award for Best Male Debut. The film was a commercial success and established him as a promising star in Telugu cinema.

Since then, Mahesh Babu has delivered a series of memorable hits — from Okkadu and Pokiri to Dookudu, Srimanthudu, and Maharshi — proving his versatility across action, drama, and romance.
