Inside Out of Manchu Family Feud. The controversy in the Manchu Family is snowballing into a major one with fans and movie lovers left wondering who is telling the truth as father Mohan Babu and sons Manchu Vishnu and Manchu Manoj are coming with three different versions.
Though the cracks developed since longtime back, the recent developments came out in open when Mohan Babu and Manchu Manoj accused each other of attacking one another and even filing police complaint. However, Mohan Babu rubbished all the rumours and asked media to fact-check before publishing any news.
But things went out of their hands, when Manoj went to TX Hospital with injuries and walked out with a neck strap round his neck and difficulty in walking. The next day, tensions prevailed when Manchu Manoj made headway to Mohan Babu's house at Jalapally and bodyguards of both sides,numbering 30-40 each trying to prevent each other. In the midst of all this ,Manchu Vishnu decided to land in Hyderabad calling off his shooting.
Manchu Manoj filed a written complaint alleging ten unknown persons attacked him while Mohan Babu seeking protection from his son alleging threat from him to his life.
Mohan Babu in his letter mentioned 'I fear for my safety, my valuables and my property. I have been informed that these individuals are waiting for me to return to my house with the intent to harm me and instill fear, compelling me to abandon my residence permanently,'
He added'They threatened my staff with dire consequences, evicted them from the property and declared that no one could enter the house without their permission,' and said 'Provide me with adequate protection to ensure my safety and allow me to access my home without fear,'
Manchu Manoj however questioned his dad and also found fault with him for dragging his wife Monica and his daughter. He also tagged the letter to CMs of Telugu states Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, Revanth Reddy and Chandra Babu Naidu.
Manchu Manoj said “I am not fighting for money or property but for my self-respect, and this fight concerns my wife and children. I am willing to face anything if they confront me directly. However, they are dragging my wife and our 7-month-old baby into the issue to suppress me. Today, I sought police protection and brought the Sub-Inspector (SI) with me to expose how they hired private bouncers to attack me. After the SI left, constables arrived and threatened my security personnel,”
He asked police not to listen to the one side of the story and act accordingly.
Manchu Manoj who landed in Hyderabad speaking to scribes after landing in Hyderabad from Dubai said “These things are small issues. They will be resolved soon. It is not appropriate to make a big picture of a family dispute,”
Mohan Babu family tree is like this. Through his first wife Vidya Devi, he had children Manchu Vishnu and Manchu Lakshmi while he had Manchu Manoj from his second wife Niramala Devi, sister of Vidya Devi, whom he married after Vidya Devi's demise.
Manchu Vishnu married Viranica and they have four children and Vishnu shifted to Dubai in 2023.
Manchu Lakshmi married Andy Srinivasan and she has a daughter and she shifted to Mumbai recently.
Manchu Manoj married Monica Reddy and for them it is their second marriage. Manoj and Mounica are residing with Mohan Babu since their marriage.
For long Manchu Vishnu had been living with his father Mohan Babu and Manoj had been living separately. However, once Vishnu decided to shift to Dubai, Nirmala Devi pressurised Manoj to move to Mohan Babu's house.
Vishnu and Manoj have been at loggerheads over the properties and businesses and to the top of it, Manchu Family did not like Manchu Manoj marrying Mounica.
Manoj was unhappy as Mohan Babu made Vishnu the Pro-Chancellor of Mohan Babu University and the Chairman and founder of New York Academy and Springboard Educational Trust, which runs preschools and schools. and he was given a raw deal.
Coming to production houses Manoj launched his own production house titled MM Arts in 2019, which he apparently started without his father Mohan Babu's support. His first production venture Aham Brahmasmi,was along with his mother Nirmala Devi. But it is yet to complete.
In the meantime, Mohan Babu is the owner of the production company, Sree Lakshmi Prasanna Pictures, and co-owner in two others, 24 Frames Factory and Manchu Entertainment. Vishnu is the owner of 24 Frames Factory, while Laskhmi is the owner of Manchu Entertainment.
Sometime back Manoj accused Vishnu of barging into his house and though he did not reveal the reason,he went on record that he does it often. He posted a video saying “This is how he came to the house and beat our men. This is the situation.” but later deleted it.
Vishnu however joked with the post “This is just the beginning…#HOM #HouseOfManchus.”
When allegations of Funds misuse in MB University came out in open due to a whistleblower, Manoj said , “I’ve been made aware of concerns at @IVidyanikethan #MBUniversity from it deeply saddens me. My father, Chancellor Sri Dr. Mohan Babu garu, has always prioritized the well-being of students and the Rayalaseema community, which is reflected in the success of these institutions. With his vision and passion in mind, I want to offer my full support to both parents, Students and @AISFofficial during this time. I’ve already reached out to Executive Director Mr. Vinay to assess the situation, and I’m awaiting his feedback. Please feel free to email me at mm.mbu0419@gmail.com with any concerns, and I will personally bring them to my father’s attention. We remain committed to supporting our students and community.”
Though the controversy died down, it increased the mistrust between Manoj and Vishnu. It has to be seen where the family dispute of Manchu Family will head now.
