South Indian film legend Mohan Babu, whose career spanned more than 570 films, recently completed 50 years in the industry. To celebrate the milestone, his son Vishnu Manchu hosted a special event titled MB50 – A Pearl White Tribute on November 22 in Hyderabad. The evening brought together prominent figures from Telugu cinema, along with guests from other film industries, creating a warm and celebratory atmosphere. The turnout itself reflected the deep respect Mohan Babu commanded across the film fraternity.
Rajinikanth attended the event dressed in all white, and photos and videos shared online showed the superstar enjoying the occasion. Another widely shared moment featured Allu Aravind arriving at the venue in a semi-formal look, followed by a staff member carrying a large bouquet of white flowers.
Jackie Shroff added his signature touch by gifting a plant—something he is well known for. He later posted the moment on Instagram with the caption, “Congratulations and my huge respects for completing 50 years in the film industry #MohanBabu.” Producer Suresh Babu also followed the event’s white dress code and was seen adjusting his spectacles before posing for photographers in a short video clip.
For Mohan Babu’s family, the celebration held special significance. He arrived with Nirmala Devi, his second wife and mother of Manchu Manoj. She is also the younger sister of his first wife, Vidya Devi, with whom he shares two children—Vishnu Manchu and Lakshmi Manchu. Lakshmi attended the event as well and was photographed with her daughter, Vidya.
Several other well-known personalities such as Ram Gopal Varma, Brahmanandam, Nani, Sundeep Kishan, Aadi Saikumar and former Vice President M. Venkaiah Naidu were also present at the celebration, as reported by The Indian Express.
Mohan Babu’s five-decade career included a wide range of roles in films such as Swargam Narakam, Jeevana Teeralu, Kurukshetram, Padaharella Vayasu, Andadu Aagadu, Ravanude Ramudayithe? and Pandavulu Pandavulu Tummeda. He also produced several projects, including Kannappa, Krishnarjuna, Political Rowdy, and Rayalaseema Ramanna Chowdary.
Beyond cinema, Mohan Babu was active in politics and was widely known for his philanthropic efforts and contributions to education, adding further depth to his legacy within and beyond the film industry.
