Mohan Babu Lauds Kalki, Internet Reacts Harshly
The internet, a double-edged sword, can shower praise and unleash scorn with equal intensity
The internet, a double-edged sword, can shower praise and unleash scorn with equal intensity. The Manchu family, unfortunately, seems to be on the receiving end of the latter more often than not. Even well-meaning gestures, like Mohan Babu's recent tweet appreciating Prabhas' film "Kalki," manage to attract a barrage of negativity.
Mohan Babu's tweet, intended to celebrate a Telugu film reaching such heights, read, "I saw the movie 'Kalki' today... Awesome... Great... My congratulations to my bava Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, the producer and the director. I am very happy that the Telugu film industry has presented a film that India can be proud of."
However, the internet, particularly a section known for relentless trolling, took umbrage with the term "bava" used for Prabhas. A flurry of comments questioned this familial connection, with some even resorting to ridicule.
The truth lies in their on-screen relationship. Mohan Babu and Prabhas played the iconic Bava-Maradalu (brother-in-law) duo in the film "Bujjigadu." This cinematic connection seemingly translates to a playful term of endearment for Mohan Babu.
Mohan Babu's tweet, intended as a positive gesture, highlights the unfortunate reality for the Manchu family. Even genuine appreciation seems to attract a relentless wave of negativity online. One wonders if genuine support can ever rise above the din of trolling in the digital age.
