The rift between veteran actor, Mohan Babu and his son, Manchu Manoj, has become a long-standing feud within the family.
The feud between the Manchu family is not something that has remained hidden. However, things worsened when Mohan Babu filed a complaint against his youngest son, Manchu Manoj, and his wife, Mounika, on December 9, 2024. While things get tense between the family, here is what we know about their uproaring feud.
The very public feud between the Manchu family first made headlines when the media reported that the relationship between Mohan Babu's sons was going sour. The issue between Manoj and Vishnu started several years back and has now snowballed into a public rift that pits father and son, Mohan Babu and Manoj against each other. A few years before the feud began, Vishnu had been living with his family at his father, Mohan's residence, while Manoj had been living separately.
However, in 2023, Vishnu decided to move out and shift to Delhi. It was after this that Manoj's mother, Nirmala Devi, put pressure on Manoj to move in with them. Nonetheless, it was the issues between the two brothers over family business and property had been brewing for years. Additionally, it is also speculated that the Manchu family was not in favour of Manoj's marriage with Mounika.
Manchu Manoj posted a video on Facebook in March 2023 where he accused Vishnu of beating his two close aides. Manoj never stated what the dispute was about and soon after even deleted the video from social media. However, that didn't stop the news from making the headlines. On the other hand, Vishnu dismissed the whole issue with a tweet stating, "This is just the beginning…#HOM #HouseOfManchus." This led fans to question if the family was doing a reality show like the Kardashians, but both Manoj and Lakshmi denied this. The whole thing died down quickly.
It was in 2024 that another news article involving the Manchu brothers broke out. The Mohan Babu University posted on social media about Manchu Vishnu allegedly misusing university funds for the Movie Artists Association elections. He was also accused of financial irregularities and mistreating students and staff. The allegations created outrage among students' parents, and some parents apparently filed complaints with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE). Responding to the same, Manoj tweeted on X, which was in his father's defence but created more rows about his relationship with his brother, Vishnu.
It was back in December 2024 when Mohan Babu accused Manchu Manoj and his wife, Mounika, of occupying his home in Jalpally, Hyderabad. He had lodged a complaint against Manoj and Mounika in Ranga Reddy District Magistrate. In response to this, Manchu Manoj met Additional Collector, Pratima Singh and shared his side of the story. Well, according to a report by Mana Stars, Manoj accused Vishnu of creating a controversy and causing a rift in the family. As of now, with both Mohan Babu and Manchu Manoj registering police complaints against each other, it remains to be seen if the dispute is settled amicably.
