Hyderabad: Actor Manchu Manoj approached a hospital in Hyderabad for treatment of his injuries on Sunday amid reports of a fight with his father and veteran actor Mohan Babu.

Manoj reached a private hospital in Banjara Hills for treatment. The actor, who was having difficulty even walking, was accompanied by his wife, Mounika.

After the treatment, Manoj left the hospital. He did not reply to questions from media persons about how he sustained the injuries. He also kept quiet when asked if there was truth in the reports circulating in the media since morning.

Manoj’s visit to the hospital is said to be aimed at building a medico-legal case. Police are likely to record his statement at his house.

Both Manoj and Mohan Babu reported that they had complained against each other to the police over dial 100. The police advised them to lodge complaints in writing.

Manoj alleged that his father beat him and his wife. On the other hand, Mohan Babu also complained to the police that his son attacked him.

The fight between them is reportedly related to family property, which includes a chain of educational institutions in the temple town of Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh.

Amid reports of a fight between father and son, Mohan Babu, through his spokesman, released a statement urging the media not to broadcast imaginary stories.

Mohan Babu is one of the senior actors in Tollywood. The 72-year-old is also a former Member of Parliament. He has been associated with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) since it was floated in 1982 by legendary actor N. T. Rama Rao. In 1995, the TDP nominated Mohan Babu to the Rajya Sabha.

In 2019, he joined the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and actively campaigned for the party in Andhra Pradesh. He bid goodbye to active politics in 2022, saying he wanted to focus on educational institutions and films.

Mohan Babu has two sons and a daughter. His sons, Manchu Manoj and Manchu Vishnu, and daughter, Manchu Lakshmi, are actors.

Last year, there were reports of a rift in the family. Manoj had posted a video alleging that his brother frequently assaults their relatives and close aides. He later deleted the video.

Vishnu, however, denied any rift, and his team claimed that Manoj’s video was part of a reality show.
