Mohammad Khadeer Babu (born April 28, 1972) is a Telugu short story writer, journalist [4] , editor, and Telugu film scriptwriter from India. He is known for his unique narrative style, which often uses the regional dialect of the Nellore district and reflects the culture and traditions of the Muslim community, frequently intertwining humor and pathos.
Mohammad Khadeer Babu was born in a middle class Muslim family to Mohammed Kareem and Sartaj Begum on April 28, 1972, in Kavali, a town in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh. He was born into a middle-class Muslim family. He studied B.Sc. Computer Science at Jawahar Bharati College.
His writing career began in 1995 with the short story 'Pushpaguchham' (The Bouquet) published in the Andhra Jyothy weekly magazine. The subsequent loss of his father in 1996 and the new responsibilities it brought, gave him a deeper understanding of life, which significantly influenced his decision to write more stories, starting with 'Dawat' in 1997.
His short stories Dargamitta Kathalu and Polerammabanda Kathalu are known for their nativity and regional dialect. Being a Muslim, his stories reflect the traditions and culture of Muslim community. The stories in these two volumes are the childhood experiences of the writer narrated from the point of view of a child. The real beauty of the stories lies in the way the writer narrates the incidents using the regional dialect without losing his grip on the childhood innocence which gives a realistic picture of the life. This aspect makes the audience look into the details of the life lived by the writer and his family which the child himself is hardly aware of. This spirit in the story makes humour and pathos run hand in hand in the story. New Bombay Tailors, Phuppujaan Kathalu, Beyond Coffee, Metro Kathalu [5] , Zero Blood are his other major works.
As a movie script writer, Khadeer babu has written dialogues for Onamalu, Brahmotsavam, Manamantha. [6]
