Here’s what he said.Manchu Manoj gets emotional at Mirai meetManoj mentioned while talking to the press that it has been a while since he was last seen on-screen. He said, “It has probably been 10-12 years since my phone rang like this; it still feels like a dream. It took me a while to even get back to everyone who has been calling.” While thanking Karthik for casting him in the film, Manoj said, “I never said this out loud, but I’ve had an inherent fear of whether I could look after my kids the way I was brought up. I no longer have that fear now.”Manoj also stated that producer Vishwa stuck by him and the rest of the team through negativity. “Even before HanuMan’s teaser was released, he believed in Teja Sajja and me. I know many warned him against casting me in a big film like this because it has been a while since I acted. But he believed in me and my talent. Hats off to him for that,” he said. Manoj also praised Teja and the rest of the cast for their performances in the film.About Manchu ManojFor the uninitiated, Manoj is the son of actor Mohan Babu and Nirmala Devi.
