Master Mahendran built a remarkable career as a child artist, appearing in numerous successful films such as Pedda Rayudu, Devi, Leo, and Simhadri. Over the years, he has acted in more than 200 movies across various Indian languages. Among them, Pedda Rayudu holds a special place in the hearts of audiences.

His memorable dialogue, “I have seen Grandpa,” delivered to Rajinikanth while addressing him as Paparayudu, became a defining moment that left a lasting impact. At that time, Mahendran was just a young boy. Today, he has transitioned into a lead actor.

Mahendran is now playing the protagonist in his latest film, Neelakantha, which is directed by Rakesh Madhavan. The movie features Yashna Chaudhary and Neha Pathan as the female leads, while Sneha Ullal appears in an important supporting role. Produced by LS Productions, the film is scheduled for release on January 2 as a New Year special. Asian Cinemas will handle the film’s release in the Nizam region. The recently unveiled teaser has received an enthusiastic response, further raising expectations for the film.
