Mahesh Babu's Son Gautam Rates Films Including Toxic and Brahmotsavam on Letterboxd
Gautam Ghattamaneni, son of actor Mahesh Babu, sparked online debate after fans discovered his Letterboxd profile, where he rated films including Yash's Toxic at 0.5 stars and his father's Brahmotsavam at 1 star. Gautam, a 20-year-old film enthusiast who has watched over 400 films across languages, gave varied ratings to Mahesh Babu's movies, praising some like Pokiri while rating others lower. His ratings, which also include high scores for films like Sholay and Baahubali 2, have prompted discussions about his honest and independent film assessments.
