He has also worked with Lady Superstar Nayanthara in Kolamaavu Kokila. His hit number ‘Kalyaana Vayasu’ from Kolamaavu Kokila hit the headlines after he was trolled for romancing Nayanthara. During one of the interviews with The News Minute, Yogi Babu opened up about the same. He said, "Her fans are screaming at me. When director Nelson called me and informed me about a montage song shoot with Nayanthara and myself. I was shell shocked, in fact uncomfortable. I’m happy that Nayanthara herself took it so sportively, being such a top heroine, it’s great of her." 

He’s usually body-shamed for laughs but the actor takes it sportingly and has featured in several big films till date. However, he doesn't like to talk about his struggles. Babu has been clear about one thing that the will never discuss his struggles in public and want his work to be talked about. 

The Kollywood comedian-actor looks up to Senthil of the iconic Senthil-Goundamani duo.

Babu manages to stay away from controversies by following only one policy and its do not take suggests and trust people. During an interview with The Hindu, the actor said, "I always remember that there was a time when I struggled to earn Rs 50. Only my slippers know my journey."

Unlike others, Yogi Babu doesn't have a team of 5 or 10. He manages to stand out with his comedy by not taking anyone's help. In the interview with TNM, he said, "Leave alone having a team, I have never even spoken dialogues from another outsourced writer. All of my comedy is spontaneous, after working out the situation with the director. For some specific scenarios, the comedy is written beforehand by the director or the writer, where we will not have a say. But otherwise, it’s just me."
