Mohan Babu Met PM Modi Before He Became The Prime Minister; This Is What He Promised Him

Having worked in over 500 films, Mohan Babu needs no introduction to any movie lover in India. He has consistently amazed audiences with his remarkable talent. For the latest episode of Sunday Brunch, our Editor-in-Chief, Kamiya Jani, stepped into his massive Hyderabad home for a delicious meal. The superstar opened up about his rise as one of Telugu cinema’s most revered icons, how he met PM Narendra Modi before he became the Prime Minister, and his friendship with superstar Rajinikanth.

When Mohan Babu Met PM Modi

Mohan Babu has never shied away from expressing his admiration for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He shared that even before he was sworn in as the PM, he had once met him. “We met at the Park Hyatt, Hyderabad. I told him: Sir, you’re definitely going to become the Prime Minister. He asked how I was so sure, and I told him that when you were in Gujarat, I heard about you and I know you’re a great person. The nation wants you. I am also part of this nation.”

He also told him that he would meet him again once he becomes the PM. Mohan Babu said that he didn’t want anything from him; he just wanted to meet and hug him. “After he became the Prime Minister, I have met him four times, with the same respect. He called me bada bhaiya. I told him: Sir, I am younger than you, please don’t call me that. I love him, I like him, even today,” he shared.
