Tollywood actor Mahesh Babu has reportedly received legal notice from the Ranga Reddy District Consumer Commission in Telangana over his endorsement of Sai Surya Developers, a real estate firm currently facing fraud allegations.
The complaint, filed by a Hyderabad-based doctor, alleges that she was defrauded of ₹34.8 lakh after purchasing non-existent plots from the developer.
Mahesh Babu has been named as the third respondent, with the complainant claiming his endorsement played a major role in influencing her decision to invest.
This isn’t the first time Mahesh Babu’s name has surfaced in connection with the firm.
In April 2025, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) questioned the actor as part of a money laundering probe involving Sai Surya Developers and the Surana Group.
The company's owner, Kancharla Satish Chandra Gupta, is already under investigation for defaulting on a large real estate project named “Green Meadows.”
While the ED reportedly did not treat Mahesh Babu as an accused and suggested that he may have endorsed the project in good faith, the consumer commission’s latest notice has reignited scrutiny over his role as the company’s brand ambassador.
As of now, the actor and his team have not issued a response to the latest development.
