HYDERABAD — Over a decade after stepping into the spotlight alongside Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu, National Award-winning actress Kriti Sanon has revealed that she would love to share screen space with him once again.
In a recent interview, when asked about a past co-star she eagerly wishes to collaborate with in the future, the Mimi star immediately named Mahesh Babu. Sanon fondly remembered her acting debut in the 2014 psychological action thriller 1: Nenokkadine, directed by Sukumar, highlighting the special place it holds in her career.
Recalling the Debut Days
Reflecting on her journey, Sanon shared how raw she was when she first walked onto a film set opposite one of Telugu cinema’s biggest icons.
"I would also love to work with Mahesh Babu again because it was my first film... my memory of that film is so special," Sanon stated, according to reporting by

She noted that having evolved significantly as an actor over the past decade, teaming up with Mahesh Babu at this stage of her career would bring a fresh, exciting dynamic to the screen.
From Debutant to A-Lister
While 1: Nenokkadine met with mixed box-office results upon its initial release, it served as the launching pad for Sanon's entry into mainstream Indian cinema. Shortly after, she made her Hindi film debut in Heropanti and quickly established herself as one of Bollywood's leading actors.
Over the years, Sanon has delivered acclaimed performances in films such as Mimi (for which she won the National Film Award for Best Actress), Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya, Crew, and Do Patti.
Fans Eager for an On-Screen Reunion
Mahesh Babu continues to dominate the Telugu film industry as one of its premiere box-office draws. While Sanon’s remarks reflect her personal wish rather than an official project announcement, moviegoers and fans across social media have already expressed enthusiasm at the prospect of the two stars reuniting on screen.
For now, no official collaboration between the two actors has been confirmed, but fans remain hopeful that filmmakers will notice the shared interest and bring them together for a second project.
