Actor Manchu Manoj has been embroiled in controversy following an alleged altercation with his father, veteran actor Mohan Babu. Reports suggest that a heated argument between the father and son led to mutual accusations and legal complaints. On December 8, Manoj was photographed leaving a hospital with a neck brace and visibly limping, raising concerns among his fans.
According to sources, Manoj accused one of Mohan Babu’s associates of assaulting him under his father’s orders. In retaliation, Mohan Babu reportedly called the police, accusing Manoj of attacking him. The cause of the disagreement is believed to be related to family property disputes, although Manoj has yet to issue a public statement addressing the claims.
This drama between the two actors has sparked widespread attention, particularly after the publicized hospital photos, where Manoj seemed to be struggling with both a neck injury and a knee issue. As per the ongoing reports, the father-son rift is deepened by their contrasting versions of the events, leaving many in suspense.
