Superstar Mahesh Babu, after returning to Hyderabad from a family vacation in Rome, is set to resume work on his eagerly awaited film, SSMB29, helmed by SS Rajamouli. In a recent development, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued a notice summoning Mahesh Babu for questioning on April 27, 2025. The investigation pertains to his payment of Rs. 5.9 crore by Surana Group and Sai Surya Developers for promoting their real estate ventures. Of this amount, Rs. 2.5 crore was paid in cash, which is now under investigation, with suspicions that it may be connected to a money laundering network.

The ED recently conducted raids on both Surana Group and Sai Surya Developers, and the investigation is still ongoing. Further details are awaited.
