Sampoornesh Babu

Mitapally, Andhra Pradesh, India

Sampoornesh Babu (born Pittampally Narasimha Chary) is an Indian actor who works predominantly in Telugu cinema. Hailing from Mittapally in Siddipet, Telangana, he established a unique and highly popular niche in the industry by pioneering and popularizing the spoof comedy genre. He began his acting journey with minor appearances, notably playing a protester in Krishna Vamsi's *Mahatma* (2009), before making a sensational transition into leading roles. He achieved an explosive mainstream breakthrough and massive internet virality with his debut as a leading man in Sai Rajesh's spoof comedy blockbuster *Hrudaya Kaleyam* (2014). Given the moniker "Burning Star," his dedicated performance in the eccentric role won him the CineMAA Award for Best Actor in a Comic Role. He rapidly cemented his position as the face of Tollywood parody cinema, headlining successful spoof actioners like *Singham 123* (2015) and delivering a widely acclaimed performance in *Kobbari Matta* (2019), where he portrayed three distinct characters—Paparayudu, Pedarayudu, and Andarayudu. Alongside his cinematic ventures, he gained significant television popularity as a contestant on the inaugural season of the reality show *Bigg Boss Telugu* (2017). Expanding his filmography beyond pure parodies, he took on socially relevant themes with his critically appreciated titular role in the political satire *Martin Luther King* (2023), the official Telugu remake of the acclaimed Tamil film *Mandela*. His recent releases include *Bazaar Rowdy* (2021) and the dual-role comedy *Cauliflower* (2021). His upcoming slate of projects extends to films like *Sodhara (Its Bromantic Story)* (2025), the Hindi drama *Bachcha Gang* (2026), and the multi-lingual feature *The Paradise* (2026). Beyond his acting career, he is widely respected across the Telugu states for his active philanthropy, consistently being among the first to donate significantly during natural disasters such as Cyclone Hudhud and the Chennai floods.
