He won SIIMA Special Jury award for his performance in Sammohanam.

Film career

[edit]

Babu began his acting career with a supporting role in Gautham Vasudev Menon-directed Ye Maaya Chesave (2010), produced by his sister-in-law Manjula Ghattamaneni.[6] His first film in a leading role was Siva Manasulo Sruthi (2012), a remake of Tamil film Siva Manasula Sakthi (2009).[7][8]

Babu tasted success with the 2013 horror comedy film, Prema Katha Chitram. Made on a budget of ₹2 crore, the film went onto gross ₹20 crore at the box office.[9] In the same year, he appeared in Aadu Magaadra Bujji.[10] In 2015, Babu played the lead role in three films, Krishnamma Kalipindi Iddarini, Mosagallaku Mosagadu, and Bhale Manchi Roju.[11]

In 2016, Babu made his Hindi film debut with Baaghi, where he played an antagonistic role.[12] His 2017 film Samanthakamani was a commercial success.[11]

In 2018, Babu teamed up with director Mohana Krishna Indraganti for the romantic drama film Sammohanam. The film where a young cartoonist falls for an actress turned out to be a profitable venture.[13][14] In the same year, he appeared in two other films, namely Nannu Dochukunduvate and Veera Bhoga Vasantha Rayalu.

In his second collaboration with Indraganti, Babu appeared in action thriller V (2020) alongside actor Nani.[15]
