**Hyderabad, India** – A bitter family feud has erupted in the Manchu family, prominent in Telugu cinema. Tollywood actor Manchu Manoj and his father, veteran actor Mohan Babu, have filed cross-complaints with police, alleging threats and assault.

He further alleges that Vijay and Kiran, individuals he did not name, stole CCTV footage of the incident. He has requested police protection citing concerns for his family’s safety.
Mohan Babu, on the other hand, claims Manoj and his wife, along with 30 associates, violently entered his home in Jalpalli’s Manchu Township on August 12th. He alleges intimidation and threats of eviction, claiming Manoj is attempting to seize his property. Mohan Babu further stated that Manoj’s actions endangered his wife and 7-month-old granddaughter, prompting him to hire security personnel.
