Fact check: Is Mahesh Babu playing lord Krishna in Ashok Galla’s upcoming movie?
Several rumors have circulated recently, suggesting that superstar Mahesh Babu would make a cameo appearance as Lord Krishna in his nephew Ashok Galla’s upcoming film, Devaki Nandana Vasudeva. However, Ashok Galla recently put an end to the speculation. He posted on his social media, apologizing for not addressing the rumors sooner. Ashok stated clearly that Mahesh Babu would not be appearing in his film and expressed disappointment that such news was being spread.
Hi everyone, my apologies for not responding immediately to the rumors about our superstar @urstrulyMahesh mamayya doing cameo role as lord Krishna in my film Devaki Nandana Vasudeva.
This news is absolutely false! I’m also very disappointed that such misleading news has spread…

In his message, Ashok explained that he was in New York City shooting for another project, which delayed his response to the rumors. He mentioned that if Mahesh Babu ever had a cameo in his film, it would be a significant moment in his career, and he would be the first to announce it. He also requested everyone to refrain from promoting such unverified news.
Devaki Nandana Vasudeva, with Ashok Galla in the lead role, is an action film directed by Arjun Jandyala and written by HanuMan creator Prasanth Varma. Despite the earlier claims, it’s confirmed that Mahesh Babu won’t appear in this movie. Currently, Mahesh is occupied with a highly anticipated project directed by SS Rajamouli, known as SSMB29 or SSRMB. This big-budget adventure film will reportedly be a global journey, with the director recently seen scouting locations in Kenya.
The confirmation has put an end to the expectations around Mahesh Babu’s cameo in Devaki Nandana Vasudeva. Fans of Mahesh and Ashok Galla can now look forward to the individual projects each is working on, including Mahesh’s exciting film with Rajamouli, which is anticipated to release soon.
