Chiranjeevi seems to be ready for a patch up with arch-rival Mohan
Babu and sources say that the actor-turned-politician did not take the
latter’s walking out from the awards function hosted by MAA, to heart.
Despite Mohan Babu blaming the organisers — Chiru’s kin Allu Arvind
and Ram Charan are on the board of directors — for breaching protocol
and sidelining actors who were not from the Chiranjeevi and Akkineni
families, Chiru got in touch with Mohan Babu over the phone. “Chiranjeevi
garu called up three days after the fiasco. It was just a courtesy call
and they didn’t broach the topic of the awards function,” says a source in the Manchu family.
Mohan Babu too reportedly didn’t talk about the incident and their
short conversation was apparently confined to health and other issues.
In fact, it was this newspaper which had reported earlier that the
arch-rivals had patched up and were meeting over food and drinks on
weekends quite often.
Chiranjeevi had also attended a special party hosted by Mohan Babu at
this residence when Kannada star Ambarish was in town for the CCL
finals.
