Manchu Vishnu cried and hugs his opponent Prakash Raj, know the reason why

The Telugu film industry’s Movie Artists Association (MAA) has a new president and he’s no other than Vishnu Manchu himself. After beating legendary actor Prakash Raj, the actor-producer was chosen as the next President. Where on one hand Prakash Raj seemed humble in his defeat while he congratulated the next deserving President, Manchu Vishnu broke down at the result announcements. The new President of MAA couldn’t control his tears from rolling down his cheeks while he hugged and thanked Prakash Raj, who played a worthy opponent.

As the results became more obvious, celebrations began even before the formal announcement at the Jubilee Hills Public School polling center. Vishnu’s father, Mohan Babu, showed full faith in his son while stating that Manchu Vishnu will keep all of his election pledges. Following a month of campaigning and extravagant remarks exchanged between the competing parties, the victors were declared after a heated vote war. 

Good Morning! I am humbled by the love and support my film fraternity has shown to me. Before I say anything more on MAA election; the counting for the EC Members, Joint Secretary and one of the Vice President posts start at 11am today. Will talk after that! 🤞🏽
