Sobhan Babu passed away last month. Based on anyone who met him write about humble qualities inspite of amassing great wealth. I think he was one of the guys who actually managed to maintain good work/personal life balance.

May his soul rest in peace.

Any actor should be appreciated if he is popular during his time. Sobhan Babu was considered a great actor then and was even a trend-setter with certain style of movies. Just like styles change, actors try to change their action and mannerisms. NTR, ANR, Sobhan Babu all acted in classy roles in B&W era. Later when the concept of mass movies started they had to change their styles to keep them commercially successfully. Few years from now, people will laugh at Rajinikanth’s movies. Does that take away the greatness of Rajinikanth to his era?

Elvis style looks funny to us but not the people of his time. Same goes for Sobhan Babu. What made Sobhan Babu special was the importance he gave to spend time with his family in later part of his life. Also, he ran his own welfare for the people who lived around him and to people who where part of his life. He always discouraged his fans associations and asked them to take care of themselves and their families.

During the â€˜aakasamulo oka taaraâ€˜ song - when he has one finger up in the air pointing (presumably) at the sky .. going jhoom jhoom jhoom jhoom tana jhoom.

He isn’t called ’superstar’ for nothing ;) I think this was the first movie that I remember having watched in a theater !

Awesome post, reminded me of the weekly movies on Doordarshan.

[...] once in a while I like to remind my readers about my Gult conscience. First there was the childhood memory of Sobhan Babu. Then it was my conjecturing about why Gult porn doesn’t exist. But today, we come back to my [...]

I agree with “Pharaoh”. Even the most popular actors [ Not the best actors] of the current times will be laughed at by the people of coming generations. It is very silly and so childish of you to make such comments about Shoban Babu and his wig. You know or not almost all heroes use wigs. Many actors have got their own mannerisms and you are not going to spend the rest of your life making comments like this. If you want to appreciate, you see the better movies of him like Malle poovu, Chelleli kaapuram, Bali peetam, Kaalam Maarindi, Illaalu_Priyuraalu. Please note I am not a fan of Shoban Babu but I am a fan of ANR.

Most stupid actor of 70â€™s is Super Star Krishna. So-called Super Star is even worse than Shobhan Babu, with his â€œwheeling hands and lame walkâ€ steps for songs. His dialogue delivery was most hilarious & college students use them to make jokes still today. Shobhan babu had various records like highest number hits produced by any telugu hero, highest paid hero of 70â€™s & 80â€™s (higher than NTR), excelled in both Mythical & social characters, and many.
After few decades, people similarly laugh at Chiru & NBK for their silly butt-shaking and head-shaking dances (like Fits patient). Because the â€œtrend is temporal & cannot be judged by perpetual perspectivesâ€.
