'Padmasri' Dr.M. Mohan Babu, one of the most versatile actors the Telugu film industry have produced, celebrates his 62nd birthday today.

He is known for his discipline at the sets and surrendering to any role he acts. He is an adept in telling dialogues and playing any kind of emotions. He has shown variations in the roles he selects all through his career and he gave 100% to all of them.

He has done many outstanding roles and has many super hit films in his career. His sons Vishnu and Manoj have already proved them as actors and his daughter Lakshmi Prasanna has proved not only as an actress, but also as a producer.

He said that he will be away from his birthday celebrations this year as his father has passed away recently.

He said, " It is known that my father has passed away recently. So I decided not to celebrate my birthday. I will spend at my institution 'Sri Vidyaniketan', but I request my fans not to come to Tirupathi. You can wish me through phone from your area".

He also said that he is going to present the 'best teacher' award every year, for the one who have contributed well as a Elementary school teacher, in the name of his father.
