Posani Naga Sudheer Babu (born 11 May 1980) is an Indian actor and former professional badminton player. He works primarily in Telugu films. Debuted as a lead actor in Shiva Manasulo Shruti (2012), Babu's successful films include Prema Katha Chitram (2013), Baaghi (2016), and Sammohanam (2018). He won SIIMA Special Jury award for his performance in Sammohanam.

Film career

[edit]

Babu began his acting career with a supporting role in Gautham Vasudev Menon-directed Ye Maaya Chesave (2010), produced by his sister-in-law Manjula Ghattamaneni.[6] His first film in a leading role was Siva Manasulo Sruthi (2012), a remake of Tamil film Siva Manasula Sakthi (2009).[7][8]

Babu tasted success with the 2013 horror comedy film, Prema Katha Chitram. Made on a budget of ₹2 crore, the film went onto gross ₹20 crore at the box office.[9] In the same year, he appeared in Aadu Magaadra Bujji.[10] In 2015, Babu played the lead role in three films, Krishnamma Kalipindi Iddarini, Mosagallaku Mosagadu, and Bhale Manchi Roju.[11]

In 2016, Babu made his Hindi film debut with Baaghi, where he played an antagonistic role.[12] His 2017 film Samanthakamani was a commercial success.[11]

In 2018, Babu teamed up with director Mohana Krishna Indraganti for the romantic drama film Sammohanam. The film where a young cartoonist falls for an actress turned out to be a profitable venture.[13][14] In the same year, he appeared in two other films, namely Nannu Dochukunduvate and Veera Bhoga Vasantha Rayalu.

In his second collaboration with Indraganti, Babu appeared in action thriller V (2020) alongside actor Nani.[15]
