Gautam Ghattamaneni’s Acting Debut Sparks Excitement

Mahesh Babu’s son, Gautam Ghattamaneni, is currently studying Drama and Performing Arts at NYU Tisch School of the Arts in the US. He usually stays away from the limelight but he has now become a trending topic.

A video of Gautam’s first-ever screen performance surfaced online last night and has been going viral. In the scene, he delivers an emotional performance during a heated argument with a girl at a dining table.

His expressions and charm remind many of his father, Mahesh Babu. Fans are already calling him the rightful successor to carry forward his father’s legacy in Telugu cinema.

Earlier, Gautam’s sister, Sitara, mentioned in an interview that he will make his acting debut in the future. However fans may have to wait at least three to four years before he enters the film industry.
