Manoj is no stranger to the arc lights. The son of veteran actor Mohan Babu has been following in his father's footsteps since he was a child.
After a couple of movies which didn't fare well, Manoj finally arrived with his critically acclaimed role of a person suffering from recurring amnesia in the Telugu film Nenu Meeku Telusu.
Manoj's next project is Chandrasekhar Yeleti's Prayanam, a film releasing in theatres in the first week of May. Manoj is very excited about the film as it is made by one of his favourite directors, Chandrasekhar Yeleti (Chandu Anna as he calls him).
Here's what to expect from the movie. Over to Manoj.
What made you sign Prayanam? Was it the fact that the story takes place in about 3 hours, 45 minutes? Were you interested because Chandrasekhar Yeleti was directing the movie?
The director was the only thing which made me sign the movie. I wanted to work with three directors in the industry -- Krishnavamsi, Gangaraju and Chandrasekhar Yeleti
