When a sly dialogue referencing his film Kannappa and his surname “Manchu” appeared in the trailer of “Single,” starring Sree Vishnu, actor Manchu Vishnu kicked up a fuss and had the team remove it. But now, his own brother has taken a jab at him.
At the trailer launch event of “Bhairavam” in Eluru, Manchu Manoj quipped, “If you yell ‘Sivayya,’ Lord Shiva doesn’t show up.” This was a clear dig at the Kannappa teaser, where Vishnu is seen shouting “Sivayya” to summon Lord Shiva.
Manoj’s comment, made on a public stage, left the crowd in splits.
Vishnu forced the “Single” team to change a line. But will he dare to react to his own brother’s taunt?
The Manchu brothers — Vishnu and Manoj — have long been at odds, feuding over family matters including property disputes. They’re not on speaking terms and have even filed police complaints against each other.
