Mohan Babu is producing a film, VISHNU, introducing his son Vishnuvardhan Babu as hero. Shilpa Shivanand is playing the female lead. On the last day of the shooting (Tuesday) of the film, She complained that she was feeling sick. Mohan Babu had asked her to take an hours rest and join the shooting later. She refused. Known for his short temper, Mohan Babu grabbed her hair and beat her on the sets. Shilpa in her complaint accused Mohan Babu of "intimidating and beating her up."
The police registered case under the sections of 342, 323 and 506 of IPC. There were many instances of Mohan Babu beating up the unit members. And there are one or two cases too in various police stations in Andhra Pradesh. Shilpa Shivanand is the sister of well-known actress Sakshi Shivanand.
Shakshi Shivanand is known to have made life miserable for Mohan Babu when they were working together. Though, Shivanands are notorious for professional indiscipline, beating up her a heroine is equally unacceptable commented one film producer.

BBC correspondent in Hyderabad
An Indian movie star has been charged with assaulting an actress who refused to kiss his son in a film scene.
Mohan Babu, a leading southern Indian film actor and former member of parliament, has been also booked for "wrongful confinement" and intimidation.
Kissing on screen is still a taboo in India...
The police said the incident took place at a studio in the southern city of Hyderabad on Tuesday evening during the filming of a Telugu-language film, Vishnu.
The film is being produced by Mohan Babu to launch his son Vishnu's movie career.
'Slapped' :
The actress, Shilpa Shivanand, says that Mohan Babu became angry with her when she did not take part in a song sequence which involved her kissing Vishnu.
Shilpa said that when she refused to do the scene again, an enraged Mohan Babu slapped her.
...but recent films are pushing the boundaries
When her mother Parveen Sivanand tried to intervene, she was also allegedly beaten up.
Following the assault, the actress says Mohan Babu followed them in to the make-up room and intimidated them, threatening them with legal action if she did not complete the filming.
Shilpa called her sister, who was in Bombay, who in turn contacted the Hyderabad police.
But when the police reached the studios it was empty.
The police traced the actress and her mother to a hotel in the city and recorded their statement there.
Later the actress along with her mother left for Bombay.
