Amid ongoing personal and professional challenges, actor Manchu Manoj was hoping for a strong comeback with his latest film Bhairavam. However, the film’s underwhelming box office performance has come as a major disappointment—not only to fans but also to Manoj himself. According to trade insiders, while Manoj’s portrayal of a character with grey shades had some impactful moments, the film failed to resonate with audiences.
Sources close to the actor revealed that Manoj is particularly frustrated with the growing trend of re-releasing old blockbusters, which he feels is impacting the performance of new films. The re-release of Mahesh Babu’s Khaleja on May 31, which coincided with Bhairavam’s release, was cited as a key factor in the film’s box office struggle. Manoj refrained from naming Khaleja directly but stated, “Re-releases should be limited to weekdays like Mondays, rather than eating up crucial weekend slots that are vital for new releases.”
Adding to the turbulence, Manoj found himself in the middle of a controversy during the film’s promotional tour. His sarcastic comment on the iconic ‘Sivayya’ dialogue from his brother Vishnu Manchu’s upcoming film Kannappa stirred backlash online. Realizing the impact of his words, Manoj later issued a public apology and conveyed his best wishes for the devotional project.
Having returned to the silver screen after a gap of over nine years, Manoj had high hopes for Bhairavam to revive his career and reestablish his position in Tollywood. “In today’s industry climate, box office numbers often overshadow talent,” noted a film distributor, reflecting on the reality many actors face.
Looking ahead, Manoj is now pinning his hopes on Mirai, where he plays a significant role. Industry observers believe this could be a crucial opportunity for the actor to bounce back and prove his mettle once again.
