Yogi Babu, the versatile comedian-turned-actor, has etched his presence in the Indian film fraternity, transitioning from the uproarious realms of Tamil television’s Lollu Sabha to becoming a sought-after figure on the big screen. His cinematic journey began with the 2009 film Yogi, under Subramaniam Siva’s direction, marking the inception of a prodigious career.
The actor’s trajectory has been nothing short of remarkable, lining up an impressive roster of 10 films for the upcoming year. His impactful performances in movies like Jailer and Varisu have solidified his stature, reportedly commanding a substantial Rs 1 crore for his role in Jailer, showcasing the industry’s profound reliance on his talents.
Breaking exciting ground, Yogi Babu is poised to venture into Telugu cinema, securing a pivotal role in an upcoming Prabhas-starrer helmed by Maruthi, billed as a horror comedy. Embracing his role as the lead comedian, Yogi Babu aims to enthral Telugu audiences with his impeccable comedic timing, marking a significant foray into a new linguistic domain.
Recent reports hint at Yogi Babu’s remuneration for the Prabhas-starrer surpassing his standard fees in the Tamil industry, underscoring his burgeoning eminence and escalating demand in the cinematic realm.
Noteworthy mentions also include Prabhas’s untitled film, anticipated to feature Sanjay Dutt, who recently underwent a look test to finalize his appearance in the movie. The project’s shooting is poised to commence in early 2024, with an official announcement anticipated in January, adding fervour to the buzz surrounding this much-anticipated venture.
Amidst this whirlwind of projects, Yogi Babu is set to headline an ambitious pan-India survival thriller titled Boat, directed by Chimbu Deven. Set against the backdrop of Japan’s bombing of Chennai in 1943, the film promises an immersive narrative, amplified by the musical genius of Ghibran, elevating anticipation for this unconventional cinematic experience.
