Actor Mahesh Babu and former actor-model Namrata Shirodkar’s son, Gautam Ghattamaneni, turned 20 on August 31. After it made news that Gautam had rated Yash’s Toxic only half a star, and some of his own father’s films only 2 stars, he got cheeky about it. Mahesh’s fans head to his social media accounts and discovered that he had a Letterboxd account where he was very vocal about films.
His father’s Varanasi co-star Priyanka Chopra’s recent film The Bluff received only a 2.5, as did Aneet Padda and Ahaan Panday’s hit Saiyaara. Mahesh last starred in Trivikram Srinivas’ 2024 film Guntur Kaaram , which Gautam incidentally rated only 2.5 on Letterboxd. The film collected ₹ 181.83 crore worldwide despite releasing amid high expectations. The film is being made on a massive scale and is the filmmaker’s next project after RRR in 2022.
And what’s more, he even rated the recent release Toxic only half stars. He even watched the recent Telugu release Romanchakam, but has yet to rate it. It was met with a lukewarm response from critics and audiences alike. The film also starred Sreeleela, Prakash Raj, Jayaram and Ramya Krishnan in lead roles. The film received criticism for being marketed as a masala film but turning out to be a family drama. Mahesh is now working in SS Rajamouli’s Varanasi . Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran are his co-stars in it. The promotional material hints at it being a time-travel story. It remains to be seen how it fares.
It told the story of a son fighting to gain his mother’s love.
