Dream Project

Meanwhile, in the lockdown period, Manoj has worked on his dream project and completed its script. He said the announcement of his dream project would be made official in two months.

Gap & Personal Issues

On personal front, Manoj has been going through difficult phase. The actor had announced his separation with wife Pranathi Reddy. He reasoned that the gap in his filmy career is not due to failures, but the personal issues that had affected him. “Success and failures are part and parcel of the industry. I have come from filmy family and I turned actor at very small age. So failures never let me stop working. But I don’t want my personal issues to affect 250 families who depend on cinema. That’s the reason why I took gap,” Manoj divulges.

Manoj said he didn’t want to let his personal issues affect his work and films and hence he had decided to stay away from movies for sometime. Now that he is out of the mess, he is coming back after 3 years.

Open To Multi-Starrers & Villain Roles

Manoj’s role in Vedam is much appreciated where Allu Arjun also part of the movie. Is he open to multi-starrers? Pat comes reply. “I’m very much open to multi-starrer films. As an actor, I’m open to explore different roles.”

So, is he also open to do villain roles like how his father and veteran actor Mohan Babu did. “Of course. If I come across an impressive script and it requires me to do a negative role, I don’t mind doing. As an actor, I’d like to do different roles.”
