The feud within the Manchu family has been making headlines lately. The latest alleged accusation by actor Vishnu Manchu against his brother, Manoj Manchu, involves a stolen hard drive containing important content from Vishnu’s upcoming film Kannappa, which has further escalated the rift between them. In a recent interview, Vishnu claimed that his brother might be involved in the matter, citing their past differences. Now, Manoj Manchu has finally broken his silence on the allegations.

Manoj Manchu attended the success meet of his latest movie Bhairavam, where he was asked about Vishnu Manchu's remarks. He refrained from answering and instead wished the Kannappa team the best.

As quoted by Telugu Cinema report, he said, "I don’t want to answer that. I still wish the best for Kannappa."

Vishnu Manchu's Latest Statement On Kannappa's Hard Drive Theft

Recently, during his promotion of Kannappa in Chennai, Vishnu alleged that Raghu and Charitha, who allegedly stole the disk, were part of Manoj Manchu’s staff. He shared the details by stating that the film's visual effects are being worked on across multiple cities, including Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, London, and Dubai, with a hard drive containing crucial VFX data sent from Mumbai to the actor's father, Mohan Babu's residence in Film Nagar, where all three siblings receive their packages.

He said, “In case the culprits manage to leak the footage, I urge everyone not to watch the leaked content. About 70 minutes of colour-graded footage that was sent from a Mumbai facility to our father’s Film Nagar residence was stolen by Raghu more than a month ago."

The actor also said, "You all know what happened within our family. We tried to reach Manoj through our friends, but to no avail. We don’t know if [Raghu and Charitha] stole it or acted upon someone’s orders. It was after these attempts that we filed a police complaint."

Vishnu also revealed that the hard disk is password protected and “it’s very difficult to crack”.

Recently, the film's production house, 24 Frames Factory, shared the official statement on its X with whole details about the matter. Check out their post below:
