Last week, Mahesh Babu saluted the police department as well as the health department. On Thursday, he has expressed his gratitude to one more category of frontline warriors battling COVID-19. They are sanitation workers, who are keeping the surroundings clean so we don't fall into risk.

"This one is for all the sanitation workers deployed on our streets to make sure the surroundings are kept clean and sanitised. While we are safe in our homes, they come out everyday leaving their own to ensure we remain out of harm's way," the 'Sarileru Neekevvaru' actor says.

He adds that a "constant battle with this menacing virus is a challenge beyond all in their frontline jobs and they do it for us."

The superstar ends the message by expressing his "heartfelt gratitude, immense respect and endless love and blessings to each and every one of you."
