Manchu family is dominating the headlines in 2025 with premium releases such as Bhairavam and Kannappa. Though Manchu Vishnu is not yet announcing his next venture post-Kannappa, all attention now remains on Manchu Manoj, who has formally announced his next big-screen project — the gripping historical drama “David Reddy.”
A unique aspect of this project in terms of significance is the fact, that this will be Manoj’s 21st film in a 21-year career in film, and the actor values this landmark himself. Manoj refers to this film as one of the closest and personal projects to his heart thus far.
Directed by Hanuma Reddy Yakkanti, David Reddy is set in the period of British India with the events happening over the outbursts/revolts of 1897 and 1922. The film wants to present an interesting story of a rebellion/social change/revolt and will follow the emotional and revolutionary journey of the main character.
Produced by Velvet Soul Motion Pictures in collaboration with Tru Radix, the film will be significant and grand, expressing the period detail and dramatic weight of its story, and is anticipated to have a large budget. Though the supporting cast and release announcement are yet to be finalized, conversations related to the film are already building momentum.
In addition to David Reddy, Manchu Manoj is fully prepared to leap off the big screen with a story of arrogance, identity, and defiance.
