Mahesh Babu Pens Emotional Tribute to Late Mother Indira Devi on Her Birth Anniversary, Shares Rare Throwback Photo
Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu took to social media this Sunday to remember his late mother, Indira Devi, on her birth anniversary, sharing a heartfelt tribute that touched the hearts of fans across the world. The actor, known for his composed demeanor and emotional depth, posted a nostalgic throwback picture from a film set where he is seen smiling beside his mother. In the caption, Mahesh wrote a simple yet deeply moving message: “Happy Birthday Amma… Miss you more than words can say… ❤️❤️.” The post quickly garnered attention, with fans and followers offering their condolences and prayers, while also recalling Indira Devi’s dignified presence and role in shaping the illustrious Ghattamaneni family legacy.
Indira Devi was not only the beloved mother of Mahesh Babu but also the wife of legendary Telugu actor Krishna and mother to five children, including the late Ramesh Babu. She passed away on September 28, 2022, at the age of 70, following complications related to age-associated health issues. Her memory remains etched in the hearts of her family and fans, and her legacy continues through the contributions of her children to Indian cinema.
Joining Mahesh in remembering Indira Devi was his wife, Namrata Shirodkar, former Miss India and actress, who paid tribute via her Instagram stories. Namrata shared a monochrome portrait of her late mother-in-law, writing, “Celebrating you in spirit, today and always.” The tribute was heartfelt and resonated with many, highlighting the bond Indira Devi shared with her family.
While Mahesh Babu continues to honor his mother’s memory with love and respect, he is also immersed in the much-anticipated cinematic project ‘SSMB29’. This film marks his first collaboration with visionary director SS Rajamouli, known globally for epic blockbusters like the Baahubali series and RRR. Though plot details remain confidential, sources suggest that Mahesh Babu’s character in the film is inspired by Lord Hanuman, indicating that the movie may delve into mythological or fantasy-action themes, a genre that has seen a resurgence in Indian cinema in recent years.
Adding to the star power, global icon Priyanka Chopra is reportedly cast as the female lead, bringing massive international appeal to the project. The film is also expected to feature Malayalam superstar Prithviraj Sukumaran, further elevating the film’s pan-Indian and global allure. With a staggering reported budget of ₹900–1,000 crores, ‘SSMB29’ is poised to be one of the most expensive and ambitious Indian films ever made. Designed as a two-part cinematic experience, the film aims to redefine storytelling in Indian cinema and set new benchmarks in terms of production scale and visual grandeur.
As fans eagerly await more updates on ‘SSMB29’ and continue to support Mahesh Babu in both his personal and professional journeys, his emotional post reminds everyone of the enduring power of love and family. Indira Devi’s legacy lives on not just through her children but also in the hearts of millions who admire the Ghattamaneni family.
