Hyderabad shimmered in pearl white as the Telugu Film Industry, along with notable Bollywood Stars, gathered to celebrate legendary actor and producer Mohan Babu’s illustrious 50-year journey in cinema. The grand tribute, titled MB50 – A Pearl White Tribute, was hosted on November 22 by his son Vishnu Manchu and turned into a major highlight in the entertainment world.
Superstar Rajinikanth, a close friend and long-time well-wisher of Mohan Babu, made a striking appearance in an all-white ensemble. Photographs and videos from the evening showed him in high spirits, enjoying warm interactions and sharing iconic moments that delighted fans online. Producer Allu Aravind also caught attention as he arrived, accompanied by an aide carrying an exquisite bouquet of white flowers, complementing the event’s elegant theme.
