In a significant development, Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) to appear on April 27, as part of a money laundering probe connected to an alleged real estate scam. The investigation centers around two real estate firms, accused of defrauding buyers, and has now placed the spotlight on Mahesh Babu’s professional ties with one of the entities involved.
According to reports, the actor received a payment of ₹5.9 crore from Sai Surya Ventures in exchange for endorsing their projects. However, ED officials have raised concerns that the funds used in the endorsement deal could be part of the illicit proceeds stemming from the real estate fraud.
Sources within the ED have shared that the actor’s promotional association with Sai Surya may have played a role in influencing potential investors, many of whom are now alleging they were misled by the developers’ false promises. Although there is no current indication of Mahesh Babu being directly complicit in the wrongdoing, investigators are scrutinizing the financial transaction linked to the endorsement.
As the investigation continues to unfold, Mahesh Babu is expected to cooperate fully with authorities. His scheduled appearance on April 27 will likely be a key moment in the ED’s broader inquiry into the suspected laundering of money tied to deceptive real estate dealings.
