Ready for the Comeback? Why Is Manchu Manoj Dropping His Massive ‘David Reddy’ Teaser on His Birthday?

Tollywood’s favorite rebel child, Manchu Manoj, is gearing up for a massive, high-stakes cinematic comeback, and the makers have just announced a huge treat for fans. The highly anticipated official teaser for his upcoming pan-India historical action drama, David Reddy, is locked to release on May 20, perfectly celebrating the actor’s birthday. Adding fuel to the excitement, Manoj is officially shedding his long-standing title of “Rocking Star” and reintroducing himself to the world with a brand-new, fierce moniker: “Raw King.”​

David Reddy is a brutally intense action spectacle set during the British colonial era between 1897 and 1920. The grandly scaled film tells the gripping story of a fearless warrior who spearheads a violent rebellion against the British Empire, featuring an impressive ensemble cast including Ramya Krishnan, Abhay Deol, and Ukrainian actress Maria Ryaboshapka. Manoj has reportedly gone through a grueling physical transformation in the gym to prepare for the film’s gritty, real-stunt action sequences. With the teaser dropping in five languages—Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada—this birthday blast is fully expected to set social media on fire and show the world that the Raw King is officially back in business.
