Pally Babu Mohan commonly known as Babu Mohan[1] is an Indian actor and politician formerly from the Bharatiya Janata Party. He prominently works in Telugu films as a comedian and is a former Minister for Labour in Andhra Pradesh.[2] He won Nandi Award for Best Male Comedian for his role in Mamagaru.[3]

Early life

[edit]

Babu Mohan was born in Beerolu, Khammam district of Telangana, India. His father was a teacher. He worked as a government employee in the revenue department of Andhra Pradesh. He later left this job to pursue his interest in films.

Film career

[edit]

Babu Mohan debuted in the film Ee Prasnaku Baduledi, followed by Ahuthi (directed by Kodi Ramakrishna), Ankusam and then a comedy character in Mamagaru. The last of these established his reputation as a comedian. After this film, Babu Mohan and Kota Srinivasa Rao developed a comedy partnership and are one of most celebrated duos,[4] for which many producers created special characters. The pair played in Mayalodu, Rajendrudu Gajendrudu, and other films, the majority of which were directed by S. V. Krishna Reddy.

Babu Mohan also paired with Brahmanandam. Their films include Hello Brother, Varasudu, Allari Alludu, Inspector Ashwini, Pedarayudu, Paradesi, Appula Appa Rao and Jamba Lakidi Pamba.

Political career

[edit]

Babu Mohan was a staunch supporter of N. T. Rama Rao from his early days, and this led him to join the Telugu Desam Party. He contested the 1998 Lok Sabha elections from the Amalapuram Lok Sabha constituency on behalf of the NTR Telugu Desam Party (Lakshmi Parvathi) but lost. He was first elected as an MLA in the 1998 by-elections and retained the seat in 1999 from Andole Assembly constituency in Medak district serving as a Minister for Labour in the N. Chandrababu Naidu's cabinet.[5][6] In the general elections, held in 2004 and 2009, he lost to the previous Deputy Chief Minister Damodar Raja Narasimha. In the year 2014, he quit Telugu Desam Party to join Telangana Rashtra Samithi.[7]

He joined Telangana Rashtra Samithi and in 2014 general elections he won again as an MLA from the same constituency against Damodar Raja Narasimha. Later in the year 2018, he joined Bharatiya Janata Party.[8] On October 28, 2023, he announced that he will be resigning from the party, citing insult and deliberate exclusion, particularly by individuals like Kishan Reddy and Bandi Sanjay, as the reasons for his decision.[9] In March 2024 he has joined the Praja Shanti Party and quit the party one month later. [10][11] In 2024, he took the membership of Telugu Desam Party.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

Mohan is married to Indira Vijaya Lakshmi. Their eldest son, Pally Pavan Kumar, died in a road accident on 12 October 2003.[13][14]
