Mohan Babu in 'Salim'

Actor Mohan Babu is now once again getting busy as a villain. His roles in films like Yamadonga and Bujjigadu have given him a new lease of life as a villain. Mohan Babu has signed up to play a full length villain role in Mahesh Babu's film Varudu. Vishnu's film Salim (Dummu Reputhadu) is now being directed by YVS Choudhary.

The film was originally meant to be directed by Krishna Vamsi but he later opted out for personal reasons. Vishnu is now desperately looking for a hit. His film Dhee was a hit but Krishnarjuna was a flop. Mohan Babu is now determined to make his son's film a big hit. For this purpose, he has agreed to play a full length villain role in Salim.

Mohan Babu hopes that his presence in the film will boost the fate of the film at the Box Office.
