ED Issues Notice to Actor Mahesh Babu in Alleged Money Laundering Case

Hyderabad | April 22, 2025
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has served a notice to Tollywood actor Mahesh Babu in connection with an ongoing money laundering probe linked to a Hyderabad-based financial firm.

Sources in the agency confirmed that the actor’s name surfaced during interrogation of the firm’s directors who allegedly diverted investor funds to fictitious shell companies. Mahesh Babu had earlier endorsed a brand owned by the company.

While ED has not named him an accused, officials are seeking details of contracts and payments issued to the actor. His team has not issued a formal response.

The actor is expected to appear for questioning later this week.
