Manoj is my only competition

Vishnu Manchu is geared up to to wow audiences with an all new look and a new perspective to match. Back on the big screen after one year, the actor is treading cautiously now.
“After Dee went on to become a super hit, I thought my next film, Krishnarjuna, will strengthen my position in Tollywood, but it bombed. Now I’ve become choosy. The audience doesn’t give you too many chances,” says Vishnu, who is busy showing off his fit look in his film Saleem.
“I put on a lot of weight as my earlier characters demanded it. But everyone started calling me fat and I decided to prove them wrong. Now I’m back in shape,” he quips.
Vishnu has more than one reason to be excited about his comeback. In Saleem, he will be seen fighting against his dad, Mohan Babu, who plays a baddie. “It is tough to act with a man of his stature. I had to constantly fight for my screen presence and I knew that we’d inevitably be compared every time we are in the same frame. I learnt a lot too. My dad is punctual and disciplined, even though he’s a prankster,” says Vishnu.
Vishnu is quite the proud sibling too. His younger brother Manoj, is considered more successful of the two. Vishnu however, claims there is no bad blood between them, “The audience will compare us, but the industry is a large one and every one can have their share here. Manoj is a brilliant actor and I regard him as my only competition in the industry.”
