pparently Mohan Babu is known for his upright remarks on anything and anyone he dislikes or gets hurt. Sometimes he won’t think twice to give his heart out if he has to talk about certain stuff. For example, his comments that are sent through his daughter Lakshmi Manchu best serve as the example. The other day CineMAA awards have given him the “Best Prominent Actor” for his role in the flick “Rowdy”. However, Mohan Babu conveyed to his daughter Lakshmi Manchu, as he hasn’t made it to the event, that this award should be given to Manchu Vishnu for his stunning role in the film. Though Mohan Babu is the one whole stole the show, it’s surprise that he’s asking that for his son.
