Telugu cinema’s favourite uncle-nephew duo just melted hearts all over again! Venkatesh Daggubati dropped a nostalgic and emotional birthday wish for Mahesh Babu on social media, marking the superstar’s milestone 50th birthday with warmth, wit, and a hint of cinematic tease. Sharing a cheerful photo of the two together, Venkatesh wrote, “Happy birthday dearest @urstrulyMahesh! Today you turn 50 but you’ll forever be my Chinnodu.” Cue the collective aww from Tollywood fans.
Venkatesh’s post didn’t just stop at birthday cheer—it celebrated a bond that began off-screen as family, but was immortalized on-screen with the 2013 hit Seethamma Vakitlo Sirimalle Chettu (SVSC). In the film, Mahesh and Venkatesh played brothers, and their effortless chemistry turned it into a box office success, grossing ₹51 crore on a ₹40 crore budget. Fans still refer to the duo as “the golden combo,” and this post has only reignited calls for a reunion.
In the image shared, a traditional festive setup featuring a clay pot hints at something more—a subtle nod to #SSMB29, Mahesh Babu’s much-hyped upcoming film with S.S. Rajamouli, slated for a 2027 release. With a whopping ₹250 million budget, the film reportedly dives into archaeology, ancient myths, and Indian epics—fueling speculation that the imagery might tie into the film’s visual narrative.
Venkatesh’s words—“Your humor and kindness light up the hearts of so many… there’s truly no one like you”—aren’t just praise. They echo findings from the Journal of Media Psychology (2021), which connects perceived celebrity warmth to deeper fan loyalty and online engagement. Judging by the comment section full of birthday wishes and fans begging for another Venkatesh-Mahesh film, that theory holds true.
With Mahesh stepping into a thrilling new chapter, and Venkatesh keeping the nostalgia alive, it’s clear this bond is as timeless as ever. And who knows—maybe their next on-screen reunion is already brewing behind that festive backdrop.
