Mahesh Babu signs on as a strategic investor in Mumbai-based Shortgun Games, backing a company that develops original video game titles for PC and consoles rather than mobile. The reports say the studio is building franchise-scale intellectual property.
Shortgun Games is described as being founded by Jeet Chandan and Vidhit Mehta. Across the coverage, the emphasis is on the actor’s move into gaming and on the studio’s stated focus on non-mobile platforms, which are often viewed as a different segment from where much of India’s game development has concentrated. The articles provide the broad details of the partnership and the studio’s direction, with no additional deal terms included in the information provided.
Together, the outlets frame the story primarily as an investment and strategic backing for game development in India, highlighting the studio’s original-IP approach and target platforms.
