Hyderabad: Tollywood actor Mahesh Babu, who was recently summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), has requested a change in the appearance date. The actor was earlier asked to appear before the officials on April 28, 2025, in connection with payments received from Surana Group and Sai Surya Developers for promoting their real estate projects.
Mahesh Babu has reportedly written to the ED, citing his busy shooting schedule for SSMB29, directed by SS Rajamouli, as the reason for seeking a new date. The ED is yet to respond to his request.
The investigation focuses on a total payment of Rs 5.9 crore made to Mahesh Babu — Rs 3.4 crore through cheque and Rs 2.5 crore in cash. The cash component is currently under scrutiny over suspected links to a money laundering network.
