Mohan Babu who turned into a hero from a villain scored memorable hits in the 80s and 90s. He also delivered an Industry Hit with Pedarayudu. His films had a good market back then. Post 2000, he turned into a character actor and did some key roles in films like Yama Donga and Bujjigadu. His sons Vishnu Manchu and Manoj Manchu started their careers as heroes.
Vishu and Manoj both scored some box-office success but the Manchu family is struggling to score a hit. Mohan Babu's films Gayatri and Son Of India, Vishnu's Jinna, and Laksmi Manchu's films are ending up as disappointments at the box office. Manoj has taken a sabbatical and recently announced his comeback film. What The Fish.
In this situation, Mohan Babu during his visit to Tirumala announced that he and Vishnu are planning to produce a Rs 100 Cr project. The details and other important things about the film will be revealed by Vishnu, said Mohan Babu. It is unclear whether the entire Manchu family will act in it or not.
It is known that Mohan Babu's dream role is Bhaktha Kannappa and he expressed his desire to play that role many times. Rumours are the film Mohan Babu announced is Bhaktha Kannappa only and he will play the titular role. Vishnu will produce it on a lavish scale. Anyhow, let's wait for the official word from the Manchu family.
