Just look at what Mohan Babu said freshly in a TV interview before discussing what people commented on that.
NTR Played 'Brihannala', a eunuch, in Dana Veera Soora Karna. He played many villain roles- say Duryodhana and Ravana. Which star can dare to do that role in present generation? There is none. An actor is called an actor only when he portrays all sorts of roles. I'm ready even now to play any sort of role.
I speak straight without keeping anything in head. I keep my mind cool all the while and that is the secret of my glamour.
I acted in 510 films so far in which there were many silver jubilee films. I need not name them. People know them well. I never got Nandi award at any time. Had I tried I would have got. But I never tried. I know there are many undeserved fellows in industry buying awards with recommendations. If I say this, many say that I'm saying this with envy and jealousy. I accepted Padmashri announced by Central Government. That's all.
I never used vulgar language on any heroine while reprimanding. But there are occasions that I reprimanded very harshly when they gave arrogant answers for my question for their late arrival to shooting spots.
My sons have a minus point and that is being my children. Had they come from a non-filmy background, with the acting prowess they showed so far, they would have become notable actors. But being my children, people compare them with me in dialogue delivery, action and body language. They have to overcome this and come out colorfully.
Watching the program the majority people have unanimously agreed to Mohan Babu's statements and that is out of the sampling we have taken.
CB Raju, a retired bank employee says, "What Mohan Babu said regarding Nandi awards might be true. He would have got best actor award for the films like 'Pedarayudu' and 'Rayalaseema Ramanna Choudary'. There are many films to name to pick him up for best villain award as well. His performance in 'M Dharma Raju MA' was marvelous. Government should give a thought for public voting through SMS for Nandi awards as well. Only then the true winner can be announced. The chance to manage the jury members will be meager then".
That appears to be a right idea which should be given a thought.
Another viewer Aruna says, "I liked Mohan Babu's point in underlining who can act the role of Brihannala now. Really we cannot imagine anyone. Today, the importance is given only for artificial stardom but not the true talent".
"Big heroes say that their fans don't agree if they portray negative or low profile roles that extract their talent. But the real star should impress his fans by all means. Fans don't agree only when they can't see their hero doing certain roles. But the same fans watched NTR hen he portrayed villain (mythological films), handicapped (Panduranga Mahatyam) and even as eunuch (Dana Veera Soora Karna). He was real star. Same applies to Kamal Hasan", says Radhakrishna Murthy, a retired teacher.
Coming to his statement regarding his sons, a viewer Ganesh said, "I don't agree with Mohan Babu in this subject. Vishnu and Manoj need to groom up a lot. They are surviving only because of Mohan Babu's background. Had they come from any non-filmy background people would have shunned long back! They have to struggle a lot in many aspects and there is no comparison with their father".
To sum up, what we can say is that Mohan Babu could turn the senses of people positively towards him this time. He said that he will not comment on the questions relating to Vajrotsavam, saying 'Gatham Gathaha'.
