About

Jagapathi Babu (born February 12, 1962, as Veeramachaneni Jagapathi Chowdary) is a veteran Indian actor, producer, and entrepreneur known for a distinguished career spanning more than three decades. Son of acclaimed filmmaker V. B. Rajendra Prasad, he grew up in Chennai before entering Telugu cinema. Starting as a child actor in 1974, he made his lead debut with Simha Swapnam (1989). He gained major recognition with Peddarikam (1992) and the cult classic Gayam (1993), followed by a series of hits such as Subhalagnam, Subhakankshalu, and Pelli Pandiri, earning a reputation as a dependable family and action hero. His career took a transformative turn when he embraced supporting and antagonist roles, becoming one of South India’s most celebrated character actors. His “salt and pepper” makeover led to acclaimed performances in Legend, Nannaku Prematho, Rangasthalam, Pulimurugan, and Srimanthudu. He expanded successfully into Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam cinema, known for his commanding screen presence and emotional depth. With seven Nandi Awards, multiple Filmfare Awards, and the Kala Bhushana Award, Jagapathi Babu continues to be a powerful force in Indian cinema. He is married to Lakshmi and has two daughters.
