Veteran actor Mohan Babu is credited as a key influence behind Prabhas’s decision to star in Kannappa. Actor Vishnu also joined the project out of respect for him. Mohan Babu’s presence and style added significant buzz to the film. Mohan Babu affectionately refers to Prabhas as his brother-in-law. Today, October 23, marks the superstar’s birthday, and Mohan Babu took to social media to extend his heartfelt wishes.

He wrote: “Happy birthday to my dear darling Bava Prabhas. You are a pride for our nation. Wishing you countless more birthdays, a life filled with joy, and longevity of a hundred years. I also hope you get married soon, start a new chapter in life, and have half a dozen children. With love, your always-loving brother-in-law.”

This post quickly went viral, with fans finding Mohan Babu’s message both amusing and endearing. Many commented on the humorous suggestion about children, jokingly asking if Prabhas had already started thinking about family.

Prabhas and Mohan Babu first shared screen space in the film Bujjigadu, and since then, they have playfully referred to each other as brother-in-law.
