Veteran Tollywood character artist Giri Babu has been battling a health issue for the last few days. He had been undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Hyderabad, and today he breathed his last.
Born in 1946 in Prakasam district, Giri Babu began his film journey with Jagame Maya. In his long career, he acted in over 600 films and entertained audiences by playing protagonist, antagonist, comedian, and character artist roles. Giri Babu is survived by his son Raghu Babu who also is a prominent actor in the industry.
Not just as an actor, Giri Babu also served the industry as a producer and director. The demise of the actor has left Tollywood in a void, with cinephiles and celebrities mourning his loss. We at 123Telugu extend our condolences to the family during these difficult times.
