Ano ang una nating nalaman
- Before more than 600 films made Giri Babu a familiar presence across generations of Telugu cinema, three unfinished projects nearly persuaded him to leave it altogether. He returned to his village intending to farm, not act. The career that followed that false start carried him from leading roles to villains, comedy and supporting parts, and into producing and directing. Giri Babu died on Saturday, November 14, 2026, while receiving treatment at a private hospital in Kondapur, Hyderabad.
