Babu Mohan’s son: The first Dalit hero in Tollywood

Though dalits form almost 20% of the state population, there is not even a single hero from the dalit community. Uday Babu, the son of Babu Mohan, is set to full fill the deficit with his debut as hero. Perhaps, he is the first dalit hero.

Earlier, Kalyan Rao, a naxalite leader from dalit community, tried to promote his son as hero. But, he could not succeed and his attempts became highly controversial in his party. Now, Babu Mohan is trying to promote his son as hero.

Interestingly, Babh Mohan hails from Coastal region and has settled in Hyderabad as an artist. He was elected twice as MLA from Rajampet, Medak. His movie is also based on the story of Sammakka Saarakka, the local deities worshipped by the people of Northern Telangana region. Let us hope that Babu Mohan will not face any ‘son -stroke’, in his attempt as his colleagues. May Sammakka and Sarakka bless Babu Mohan and Bala Babu Mohan (i.e., Uday Babu).
