Oct 29, 2025, 21:58 IST
Early Life & Family Background
Gautam Ghattamaneni was born on 31 August 2006 in Hyderabad, Telangana, India. He is the only son of Telugu cinema superstar Mahesh Babu and former actress Namrata Shirodkar, and belongs to the prominent Ghattamaneni film family. His younger sister is Sitara Ghattamaneni (born in 2012).
Gautam was born into a film family; thus, he had the privilege of early exposure to cinema and entertainment. He finished his schooling in Hyderabad and then went to the renowned New York University (NYU) Tisch School of the Arts to major in drama and performing arts, as of 2025.
Education & Personal Profile
Gautam’s formative years were spent at CHIREC International School, Hyderabad. He is around 5′8″ (≈172 cm) tall, as per the latest reports, and has kept a low-key personal profile but is visible occasionally in public events with his family.
Career Beginnings & Interests
The child actor Gautam marked his very first on-screen appearance in the 2014 Telugu movie 1‑Nenokkadine, in which he played the little version of his father's character. After that, it was reported that he was training in acting, theatre and performance instead of taking a full-scale plunge into the movies. His public appearances, including his 18th-birthday celebration in 2024, suggest that he is still concentrating on his education and craft.
According to reports in 2025, a video of Gautam’s theatre performance (while at NYU) went viral and exhibited his passion for acting that was not just about being a star kid.
Public Image & Activity
Gautam has maintained a rather hidden public presence and has a balanced lifestyle with education, interest in theatre, travel and family, even though he comes from a very noticeable film family.
What to Expect
Gautam Ghattamaneni is just 18 years old (in 2025), and while he is already at the crossroads of university education and the entertainment industry, many people expect that his first performance in acting or even his involvement in production might occur at any time. Nonetheless, he seems to be walking the slow and steady path that leads to learning, growing, and skill development before actually taking a big jump.
