Sampoornesh Babu has rendered a monetary help of Rs. 50,000 towards the rebuilding of the cyclone-ravaged Srikakulam district. "I have come to know from my friends that the Titli Cyclone has taken a severe toll on the district. For relief measures, I am donating this amount," the comedy hero said a day after Manchu Manoj pledged to adopt poor children.

Sampoo awaits the release of 'Kobbari Matta', which is coming on November 14. The family entertainer is directed by Rupak Ronaldson and written (story, screenplay and dialogues)/co-produced by Steven Shankar. This film sees the 'Hrudaya Kaleyam' actor in an expectedly quirky role. Spoofs abound. It's a no-brainer. In the latest promo video, the Burning Star plays that melodramatic elder brother who treats his four younger brothers with epic levels of affection. Music is by Kamran.
