Mahesh Babu ED case:
Tollywood actor Mahesh Babu has received another notice from the Enforcement Directorate (ED). He has been asked to appear for questioning on Monday. The case involves Sai Surya Developers and Surana Group. There is uncertainty over whether the actor will attend the hearing today.
The ED had earlier sent a notice asking Mahesh Babu to appear on April 28. He did not attend the questioning due to his film shooting schedule. He requested more time from the ED officials. The authorities accepted his request and issued a new date—May 12.
Mahesh Babu is currently working on his upcoming film SSMB 29, directed by S.S. Rajamouli. The project is one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema. It will feature the actor in a never-before-seen avatar with a global storyline and high production value.
The Sai Surya Developers case is under detailed investigation. Mahesh Babu promoted the brand. The ED found that he received ₹5.9 crore as payment. ₹3.4 crore came in cash and ₹2.5 crore through RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement).
The ED is examining all transactions linked to the company. The payment made to Mahesh Babu is part of that inquiry. ED officials want to understand the financial flow in this case. They are looking into possible money laundering activities.
On April 16, ED teams conducted raids on offices and locations connected to Surana Group and Sai Surya Developers in Hyderabad. Several financial documents and transaction records were seized. The investigation is still ongoing.
It is still unclear whether Mahesh Babu will appear before the ED on Monday. There is high public and media attention on the matter. His attendance may help provide clarity on the financial dealings.
Mahesh Babu remains one of the top stars in Telugu cinema. His name being linked to this case has drawn national attention. Fans and film circles continue to monitor the developments closely.
The ED continues to investigate all persons involved. More summons and interviews may follow based on findings.
