Hyderabad:
A
case
was
filed
tonight
against
Telugu
actor-turned-producer
Mohan
Babu
and
three
others
for
allegedly
insulting
the
Brahmin
community
in
his
latest
movie
Dhenikaina
Ready.
However,
Mohan
Babu
asserted
there
was
nothing
in
the
film
that
insulted
Brahmins
or
any
other
community.
Following
a
court
directive,
Malkajgiri
police
filed
the
case
against
Mohan
Babu,
his
actor
son
Manchu
Vishnu
and
comedy
actor
Brahmanandam,
who
star
in
the
film
Dhenikaina
Ready,
besides
its
director
G
Nageswar
Reddy,
on
charges
of
criminal
conspiracy
and
promoting
enmity
between
different
groups
on
grounds
of
religion
and
other
relevant
sections
of
the
IPC,
a
senior
police
officer
said.
The
members
of
a
Brahmin
association
had
filed
a
petition
before
a
local
court
against
Dhenikaina
Ready
maker
Mohan
Babu
and
others
accusing
them
of
allegedly
insulting
Brahmin
culture
and
hurting
their
sentiments.
After
hearing
their
petition
the
court
had
directed
the
police
to
investigate
and
register
a
case.
Yesterday,
different
Brahmin
associations
held
a
demonstration
in
front
of
the
actor's
house
in
Film
Nagar
over
alleged
derogatory
portrayal
of
their
community
and
demanded
a
ban
on
his
son's
film
Dhenikaina
Ready.
The
protesters
alleged
that
priests
belonging
to
the
Brahmin
community
were
shown
in
poor
light
in
the
film
and
demanded
a
ban
on
the
movie
as
well
as
an
apology
from
Mohan
Babu.
