There's a new hero in town who'll be, incidentally, making his debut with a film titled Hero. Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu has revealed that his nephew Ashok Galla will be following in his footsteps and making his acting debut soon. Ashok Galla comes from a highly privileged family - his mother Padmavathi is Mahesh Babu's sister and his father is politician Jayadev Galla. He's also the grandson of veteran actor Krishna. Sharing the poster of Hero on social media, Mahesh Babu wrote: "Couldn't be happier to launch the title of your debut film Ashok Galla! This looks super interesting! The Hero journey begins! Good luck to Sriram Adittya (the film's director) and team".

Ashok also got a shoutout from actor Namrata Shirodkar who is his aunt. "Good luck on your debut. Hero teaser looks really promising! Looking forward to the film and your performance. Wishing the team all the very best." The film, Hero, will also feature the beautiful Niddhi Agerwal. The movie is directed by Sriram Adittya and is produced by Ashok's mother, Padmavathi Galla. The title teaser of the film also dropped today and shows Ashok in many avatars - there's a bit that looks straight out of a Hollywood cowboy Western and then there's a sequence where he is dressed as the Joker from Batman and is laughing maniacally at his reflection.

Check out the teaser below:
