In December last year, the tussle between Mohan Babu and his son, Manchu Manoj, became a hot topic. They have since lodged police complaints against each other. Manoj has accused his father of showing ill-will against him. There are property disputes between the duo. The televised dispute saw a strange incident even: Mohan Babu inadvertently hurt a TV reporter, resulting in the victim's hospitalization.
Just a few months after the open feud, Manoj today surprised everyone by writing an emotional birthday wish addressed to his father. “Happy Birthday, Nanna. We miss being next to you on this special day. Can’t wait to be around you, Nanna. Love you with my everything," the estranged son wrote on Instagram. He shared a picture of his daughter, Sobha, touching a film still of Mohan Babu.
When the controversy broke out last year, Nirmala Mohan Babu, the wife of Mohan Babu, submitted to the police that their son Manchu Manoj had made false statements in his recent police complaint. In his complaint, lodged days ago, Manoj alleged that Manchu Vishnu had created a ruckus at their Jalpally residence in Hyderabad. As per Nirmala, the biological mother of Manoj, Vishnu didn't create any trouble. "It was my birthday that day. Vishnu visited our residence and celebrated my birthday with a cake-cutting event. Everything went on smoothly. But Manoj discarded the (CCTV) footage of Vishnu's visit," Nirmala said.
