Comedian-turned-actor Yogi Babu has carved a niche for himself in the Indian film industry, sharing screen space with some of the biggest stars. His journey began with the Tamil television comedy series Lollu Sabha, showcasing his comedic prowess and earning recognition for his talent. Yogi Babu’s big-screen debut came in 2009 with the film Yogi, directed by Subramaniam Siva and led by Vincent Ashkan.
With a remarkable trajectory, Yogi Babu has become one of the busiest actors in the industry, lining up an impressive slate of 10 films for the upcoming year. His presence in significant roles in films like Jailer and Varisu has solidified his position, reportedly charging around Rs 1 crore for his role in Jailer.
In an exciting development, Yogi Babu is set to make his mark in Telugu cinema with a crucial role in Prabhas’s upcoming film directed by Maruthi. The film, described as a horror comedy, will feature Yogi Babu as the lead comedian, aiming to captivate the Telugu-speaking audience with his impeccable comic timing.
Recent reports suggest that Yogi Babu is commanding three times more than his usual remuneration in the Tamil film industry for his role in the Prabhas starrer. While the exact amount remains undisclosed, this indicates the actor’s rising stature and demand in the industry.
Apart from this venture, Prabhas’s untitled film is also expected to feature Sanjay Dutt, who recently underwent a look test to finalise his appearance in the movie. The film’s shooting is anticipated to commence in the first quarter of 2024, with an official announcement expected in January.
Amid these exciting projects, Yogi Babu is set to headline a pan-India survival thriller titled Boat, directed by Chimbu Deven. The film unfolds against the backdrop of Japan bombing Chennai in 1943, promising a unique and gripping narrative. The music for Boat is composed by Ghibran, adding to the anticipation surrounding this ambitious project.
