‘Always my Superstar’: Mahesh Babu remembers father Krishna

Mumbai: Tollywood superstar Mahesh Babu remembered his late father and legendary actor Krishna on his fourth death anniversary on Sunday.

He took to his official Instagram handle and shared a black-and-white childhood photograph featuring him posing in his father’s arms.

Mahesh Babu captioned his post, “Always my Superstar…” (sic), followed by a red heart emoji.

His wife and former actress Namrata Shirodkar reacted to the post with three red heart emojis.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, the ‘Pukar’ actress shared, “Remembering a life filled with love, dignity and so much warmth. Forever missed” (sic), along with a red heart emoji.

Krishna, known for his work as an actor, director and producer in Telugu cinema, breathed his last on November 15, 2022, at the age of 79.

Some of his most memorable films include ‘Gudachari 116’ (1966), ‘Mosagallaku Mosagadu’ (1971), ‘Pandanti Kapuram’ (1972), ‘Devudu Chesina Manushulu’ (1973), ‘Alluri Seetarama Raju’ (1974), ‘Agent Gopi’ (1978) and ‘Simhasanam’ (1986), among others.

Following Krishna’s death in November 2022, Mahesh Babu shared an emotional note, saying, “Your life was celebrated… your passing is being celebrated even more… such is your greatness. You lived your life fearlessly… daring and dashing was your nature. My inspiration, my courage… Now I’m fearless… your light will shine in me forever. I will carry your legacy forward. I will make you even more proud. Love you, Nanna, my Superstar.”

Last year, Mahesh Babu paid tribute to his late father by sharing a photograph of Krishna and a younger version of himself on a film set.

Remembering his father on his death anniversary, Mahesh Babu wrote on his official Instagram handle, “Thinking of you a little more today… and knowing you’d be proud, Nanna.”

Meanwhile, Mahesh Babu is currently busy working on SS Rajamouli’s much-awaited film ‘Varanasi’, also known as ‘Globetrotter’. The film will feature Priyanka Chopra and Prithviraj Sukumaran in significant roles.
