Padma Shree Dr Mohanbabu is producing a film 'Raju Bhai'.

Addressing the film journalists during its shooting, he claimed that his latest favourite director is Rajamouli.

Speaking about Rajamouli, Dr Mohanbabu says, 'I played different roles as a film artiste for the past 32 years. I worked with so many new directors. I played roles in over 500 films. However, only a few great directors like my mentor Dasari Narayana Rao, K Raghavendra Rao, B Gopal and Raviraja Pinisetty had created a new history in my film career. Whenever I go to shooting in their direction, they used to work with good discipline and treat their job as their mother. They work for all the 24 hours with total dedication. However, those directors who came after them were not so disciplined or dedicated. After a long time, I noticed such dedication and discipline with SS Rajamouli. When he calls me to attend the shooting at 7 O Clock, he gets everything ready and by the time I reach the shooting spot, he was busy in looking after the shot to be taken. I liked him and his attitude very much. I am very happy to play a role in his film under his direction.'
