Manchu Manoj Gets Emotional At Mirai Success Bash
With tears in his eyes, Manoj recalled in the press meet how he has been cast after years for any film. 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. 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.”
Further, he added, “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.”
