Padma Shri comes back to haunt Mohan Babu
The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Tuesday directed the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to submit a report on the controversy surrounding the alleged misuse of the honorary title 'Padma Shri' by actor-producer Mohan Babu in four weeks to President Pranab Mukharjee, who will take a final call on it.
The court directed the actor not to use the tittle till a decision was made by the President. The court also directed the actor to make an announcement before the media that he will not use the Padma Shri title in future.
It may be recalled that the High Court asked the actors to give up their 'Padma Shri' awards to the Union Government for violating the rules that accompany the honour following a writ petition by BJP senior leader N Indraseena Reddy.
Mohan Babu and Brahmanandam were awarded the title in 2007 and 2009, respectively. The controversy erupted when the recipients carried the title of 'Padma Shri' as prefix in the credits of the controversial film 'Denikina Ready'.
The BJP leaders recently filed another petition that the actor had used the title not only in Denikaina Reddy, but also in 'Jummandi Nadam'.
