Hyderabad, Dec 9 (IANS): Actor Manchu Manoj approached a hospital in Hyderabad for treatment of his injuries on Sunday amid reports of a fight with his father and veteran actor Mohan Babu.

Manoj reached a private hospital in Banjara Hills for treatment. The actor, who was having difficulty even in walking, was accompanied by his wife Mounika.

After the treatment, Manoj left the hospital. He did not reply to questions from mediapersons about how he sustained the injuries. He also kept quiet when asked if there was truth in the reports circulating in the media since morning.

Manoj’s visit to hospital is said to be aimed at building a medico-legal case. Police are likely to visit Manoj’s house to record his statement.

Both Manoj and Mohan Babu reported to have complained against each other to police over dial 100. The police advised them to lodge complaints in writing.

Manoj alleged that his father beat him and his wife. On the other hand, Mohan Babu also complained to police that his son attacked him.

The fight between them is reportedly related to family property which includes a chain of educational institutions in the temple town of Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh.

Amid the reports of a fight between father and son, Mohan Babu through his spokesman released a statement, urging media not to broadcast imaginary stories.

Mohan Babu is one of the senior actors of Tollywood. The 72-year-old is also a former Member of Parliament. He was associated with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) since it was floated in 1982 by legendary actor N. T. Rama Rao. In 1995, the TDP nominated Mohan Babu to the Rajya Sabha.

In 2019, he joined YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and actively campaigned for the party in Andhra Pradesh. He bid goodbye to active politics in 2022 saying he wants to focus on educational institutions and films.

Mohan Babu has two sons and a daughter. His both sons Manchu Manoj and Manchu Vishnu and daughter Manchu Lakshmi are actors.

Last year, there were reports of a rift in the family. Manoj had posted a video alleging that his brother frequently assaults their relatives and close aides. He later deleted the video.

Vishnu, however, denied any rift and his team claimed that the video posted by Manoj was part of a reality show.
