Mohan Babu "deeply pained" over attack on journalist
Hyderabad: Veteran actor and producer Mohan Babu wrote an apology letter to journalist who he attacked recently at his residence in the midst of his family feud with his younger son Manchu Manoj.
The journalist sustained severe injuries and also underwent surgery, leading to protests by varied journalist unions across the state.
"It pains me deeply that what started as a personal family dispute spiraled into a larger situation, causing distress not only to the esteemed TV9 family but also to the broader journalist fraternity,” wrote Mohan Babu. He also added, “In the heat of the moment, when my gate was broken and approximately 30-50 individuals, comprising anti-social elements, forcibly barged into my house with an intent to harm those present, I lost my composure. Amidst this chaos, the media inadvertently became intertwined in the situation. As I tried to manage the situation, Mr. Ranjith, one of your journalists, unfortunately, sustained an injury. This was a deeply regrettable outcome, and I deeply regret the pain and inconvenience caused to him, his family, and vernacular channel. I deeply regret that my response in the charged moment has led to anguish for your esteemed organization and for Ranjith."
He is going to play a key role in Nanis upcoming film. Earlier, he won appreciation for his role of Lord Yama in S S Rajamouli's Yama Donga.
