He also received the Tamil Nadu State Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the 2017 film “Malayan.”

Recently, Sarath Babu was seen in the Tamil film “Vasantha Mullai.” He had a significant role in Sr Naresh’s upcoming film “Malli Pelli,” where he portrayed the character of Superstar Krishna. The film, scheduled for release this Friday, will now be a tribute to the veteran actor.
