ఎన్టీఆర్ టు లోకేష్ | TOP Story Debate With Sambasiva Rao | Minister Nara Lokesh

Actress Lakshmi Manchu has announced that she will no longer produce films and will focus solely on her acting career. She revealed that past financial losses as a producer influenced her decision. “I am currently doing a Tamil film because I received a cheque as an actress,” Lakshmi explained. “These days, when I am asked to listen to a script, the first thing I ask is who the producer is. Only after that do I agree to hear the story.”

Lakshmi admitted that she is still repaying dues from films produced five years ago. “That is why I have decided not to produce films anymore and to remain only an actress,” she said.

Speaking about her latest film Bookie, she shared, “The film released in Tamil last Friday and has received an excellent response. It is a universal story that connects with everyone. The movie was made with a wonderful team and talented actors like Ajay and Dhanush. Whenever Vijay Antony composes music for a film, the content turns out outstanding. Director Ganesh has a very bright future ahead. I have played a very interesting character, and my expressions in this role are quite intriguing.”

Lakshmi Manchu has previously produced films such as Gundello Godari, Lakshmi Bomb, and W/o Ram. However, none became major commercial successes. Having learned from these experiences, she has decided to step away from production, noting that filmmaking is no longer a safe business proposition.
