For years, there have been numerous rumors in Tollywood about actor and producer Naga Babu.
The most popular gossip revolved around his financial struggles after producing Orange with his nephew, Ram Charan.
It was widely speculated that Naga Babu was deeply in debt, that even his elder brother, Chiranjeevi, couldn’t help him, and that when bank officials came knocking, it was Pawan Kalyan who stepped in to support him.
Some even claimed that this incident led to misunderstandings between Megastar and Power Star.
Later, Naga Babu found some relief through the Jabardasth comedy show, which provided him with a stable income. Many believed that the opportunity was specially arranged to help him.
He hosted the show for several years, but after leaving Jabardasth, he stayed away from films and television for a long time.
However, it has now become clear that all these were mere rumors. The Orange film did not push Naga Babu into a financial abyss.
Official records show that his total assets are worth â¹70 crore. Among them, â¹11 crore are fixed assets, which include immovable properties. While the official valuation stands at â¹11 crore, the market value is expected to be much higher.
It is also incorrect to assume that he earned this wealth after recovering from Orange. Since the film's release, he has done very few films and TV shows—certainly not enough to accumulate such massive wealth.
This means that while Orange may have caused some financial setbacks, it was not severe enough to bankrupt Naga Babu.
The reports of debts, family conflicts, and financial distress were purely gossip. This fact was confirmed when he filed his MLC nomination, along with an official declaration of his assets, which clearly amount to â¹70 crore.
So, the game is over. The stories of debts, family disputes, and financial struggles were nothing but baseless rumors!
