Mahesh Babu is in the news for accomplishing the noble cause of saving a child's life. One Taneesh has survived cancer after battling the disease for years. As per the child's relatives, the 'Bharat Ane Nenu' star donated "some big amount" towards meeting the medical expenses of the child.

This comes days after the superstar informed the world about a school being built in his adopted village of Siddhapuram. Last year, he had donated Rs. 30 lacs towards the construction of the school.

Besides this village, the actor also adopted Burripalem in Andhra Pradesh. Often, this adoption model is juxtaposed with his character in 'Srimanthudu', the blockbuster in which the actor played a billionaire who transforms a village with his philanthropy.
