Madhu Babu
(Actual Name: Valluru Madhusudana Rao - Retired Headmaster of a School at Hanuman Junction, Near Vijayawada) is one of the most popular Telugu detective novelists.

Date of Birth: 6th July 1948
Started writing in the year 1971

His detective novels revolutionized the Telugu detective literature and his characters Shadow, Gangaram, Srikar, Mukesh, Bindu, Kulakarni, Captain Vasu etc., became household names of Telugu people. In particular people during 1970-1990's found their destination in fiction novels by Madhu Babu.

He has also written and still writing serials in Telugu weekly Swathi.

The hero of his detectives 'Shadow' has left an indelible impression among his readers. Many readers were educated by Madhu Babu’s intimate description of the geography, the lifestyles of various countries and remote regions, though fictitious. This trendsetter in Telugu detective novels mesmerized his readers and made them feel like they were watching a movie while reading his novels.

After getting popular with his detective literature, he started writing books with "Detectives Vathsava" and his partner cum friend "Shyam Sunder" as the main protagonist. He also wrote different novels without his famous detectives, some of them taking ancient backdrop and some leading to completely different fantasy worlds.
