A tense confrontation unfolded at the residence of veteran actor Manchu Mohan Babu in Hyderabad’s Jalpally on December 10, as his son, Manchu Manoj, attempted to enter the property. The incident escalated into a heated standoff when security personnel refused to open the gates for Manoj and his wife, Mounika, who had arrived at the residence.

According to sources, a viral video shows Manoj pleading with the security guards, claiming that his children were inside the house. Angered by the refusal, Manoj reportedly exited his vehicle and engaged in a heated argument with the security staff. The situation took a dramatic turn when Manoj’s staff members forcibly destroyed the gates to gain access to the premises.

As the chaos continued, another video surfaced showing Mohan Babu allegedly confronting journalists who had gathered outside to cover the incident. Eyewitnesses reported that cameras were damaged during the altercation, and one journalist, who was observing the scene, was physically assaulted. The journalist reportedly suffered fractures during the attack. The media community has strongly condemned the actions, with several journalists staging protests outside Mohan Babu’s residence, demanding an apology for the assault. Protesters raised slogans against the actor, calling for accountability for his actions.

The incident comes amid a growing public dispute between Manchu Mohan Babu and his son, Manoj, over family issues and property matters. Over the past few days, the father-son duo has aired their grievances in public, with Manoj accusing his father of partiality. Manoj claimed that Mohan Babu favoured his brother, Vishnu Manchu, and levelled serious allegations against him. Manoj was recently seen with a cast on his leg and a neck brace, raising further questions about the ongoing family conflict.

In a twist to the drama, Mohan Babu’s other son, Vishnu Manchu, arrived in Hyderabad from Dubai amidst the unfolding turmoil. Reports suggest that both Mohan Babu and Manoj have filed complaints against each other related to property disputes, further intensifying the family’s public feud.

As the police investigate the incident, further details about the dispute and its aftermath are awaited. The altercation has sparked widespread outrage, especially within the media community, with calls for justice and an apology from the senior actor.
