Manchu Manoj Reignites Feud with Vishnu as Family Rift Erupts During Promotions

The ongoing feud between Manchu Manoj and Manchu Vishnu has now become public. Their personal conflict took center stage during the Bhairavam trailer launch on May 18, where Manoj openly targeted his elder brother in front of the media and fans. He addressed the crowd with a sharp statement: “Lord Shiva won’t appear just because someone keeps shouting ‘Sivayya’ again and again. Shiva comes to those who are truly heartfelt.”

Manoj clearly aimed this remark at Vishnu’s film Kannappa, which features “Sivayya” as a key dialogue in its trailer. His tone and delivery left no room for doubt, he reignited the long-standing dispute with his brother in a very public way.

Vishnu Acknowledges Pain and Credits Prabhas for Standing by Him

Before this, Manchu Vishnu also expressed his emotions during a podcast promoting Kannappa. He stated that his own blood tried to pull him down, but actor Prabhas stood firmly by his side. Vishnu added that he would always remain grateful to Prabhas for his unwavering support. Without naming Manoj, he indirectly referred to him, making it clear that the family conflict affected him deeply.

Manoj Takes Another Shot from the Bhairavam Stage

As Manoj marks his comeback with Bhairavam, co-starring Bellamkonda Sreenivas and Nara Rohit, his promotional remarks have stirred controversy. He earlier proposed a box-office clash between Bhairavam and Kannappa, though both sides avoided it later. Now, he has revived the rivalry during live promotions. While Bhairavam will release on May 30, Kannappa is scheduled to release on June 27.

“Sivayya” Dialogue Fuels Online Drama

The term “Sivayya” had already triggered drama when actor Sree Vishnu used it in the trailer of his film Single. Many fans felt that he mocked Manchu Vishnu. After backlash, Sree Vishnu removed the dialogue and personally apologized to Vishnu. Now, Manoj has reignited that flame by using the same reference on stage, intensifying the already heated situation.

Fans React Strongly, Demand Private Resolution

The Telugu film audience now finds itself divided. Some fans enjoy Manoj’s sarcasm, calling it entertaining. But many others urge both brothers to resolve their issues privately. They believe the public feud could harm both their careers and the image of the Manchu family. With every public event, the feud deepens, and fans continue to hope for peace between the once-close brothers.
