Mahesh's childhood was spent mostly in Chennai under the care of his maternal grandmother Durgamma and the rest of his family. Since Krishna was busy with his film commitments, Ramesh used to look after Mahesh's academic performance. Along with his siblings, Mahesh used to play cricket regularly at the VGP Golden beach in Chennai. To spend time with him, Krishna used to make sure that his films' shoots would be conducted at the VGP Universal Kingdomduring the weekends.

                                Krishna also made sure that none of his children would reveal his name during their schooling to ensure a peaceful environment. He was educated at St. Bede's Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School in Chennai where actor Karthi was his schoolmate. Mahesh was an above average student. He obtained a bachelor's degree in commerce from Loyola College in Chennai.^] After graduating, he met with director L. Satyanand in Vishakhapatnam for further training in acting which went on for three to four months.^] Being unable to read and write Telugu, he used to memorise the dialogues given by his directors during the dubbing phase of his films.
