Indian Entrepreneur@indianentrepreneurActor Mahesh Babu has invested in Mumbai gaming startup Shortgun Games, though the amount and his ownership percentage remain undisclosed.
The studio wants to make original PC and console games for audiences beyond India. Its flagship, Project Takedown, is a Mumbai-set action-adventure due out by late 2028 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Shortgun raised $1 million in seed funding from angel investors and a family office in August 2025. Co-founder Jeet Chandan believes the actor's involvement will lift the studio's technical abilities.
