Brahmi-Mohan Babu paying price for insults

There is a saying in Telugu 'nee title naaku deevenalu' (your abuses are like blessings). When entire Brahmin community protested against Mohan Babu's film Denikaina Ready alleging it hurt their sentiment, Mohan Babu and his son Vishnu hero in the film, followed the same policy. 

Even when Brahmins protested in front of Vishnu's house, they didnot care and only used the episode for promoting their film. It resulted in cases and counter cases. Mohan Babu turning adamant didnot try to sort out the issue with the aggrieved party and agree for cuts. 

Some in the industry say he has taken the issue too personally and as a prestige issue. Brahmins lamented that they faced all the insults as no party backed them. This prompted BJP leader Indrasena Reddy plunge into action and using his political experience and litigations, he filed a case on Mohan Babu and Brahmanandam for using Padmasri titles in front of their names in the films which is against Padma award rules. 

With Brahmi and Mohan Babu not aware of those laws got caught in the legal tangle. While some industry bigwigs felt that they should have solved the issue longtime back,others felt though the actors will not return the awards as asked by the court, the remark itself is a blemish in their career and slap on their arrogance.
