Manchu Vishnu’s daughter birthday celebrations: Entire family gets together for a themed photo-shoot

Manchu Vishnu and Viranica’s third daughter Manchu Ayra has recently turned one on August 9 (Sunday) and the entire Manchu household which includes Mohan Babu and his wife Nirmala, Manchu Lakshmi, Manchu Manoj and all the kids have gathered together at their family residence for a grand celebration. A themed photo-shoot was also planned as a part of the occasion and taking to Instagram, Vishnu shared a series of snaps and wished his cute girl by captioning the post “The Star of the day.My Ayra Vidya Manchu turns one today! #happiness #blessed #AyraManchu #AyraManchuBirthday” While the men in the frames slipped into white shirts, the women and the kids chose white gowns with red designs.

Vishnu and Viranica were blessed with Ayra on August 9 in 2019. The munchkin is the adorable couple’s fourth child after Ariana, Viviana and Avram.

It was love at first sight for the 38-year-old ‘Dhee’ actor after meeting Viranica Reddy at a friend's party. They liked each other's company and after 10 days, as if under Cupid's spell, realised that they were made for each other. Finally, both the personalities who hail from reputed families in the Telugu states tied the knot in 2009. Viranica is the niece of late CM YS Rajashekar Reddy.
On the work front, Vishnu is gearing up to enthral the Telugu viewers with a new-age crime-thriller titled Mosagallu. Directed by Jeffrey Gee Chin, the crossover project which is simultaneously shot in English and Telugu tells the story of the world’s biggest IT scam. While Kajal Aggarwal is essaying the role of Vishnu’s sister in the big-budget film, Suniel Shetty, Navdeep, Naveen Chandra and Ruhani Sharma will be seen in key roles.


Multifaceted personality of Telugu cinema, Manchu Lakshmi has proved her mettle in several mediums like anchoring, hosting, acting and producing films. In 2014, the 42-year-old actress and her husband Andy Srinivasan were blessed with a daughter and they named her Vidya Nirvana Manchu Anand. Recently, the cutie crooned a devotional song on Lord Shiva in the 4-minute-long video which also features Lakshmi and Manoj for a few seconds. Along with her celebrity mom, she also appears in videos on their YouTube channel “Chitti Chilakamma”. The content on the channel primarily revolves around parenting tips and teaching basic life skills to children.


After reprising the role of SV Ranga Rao in Mahanati, veteran actor and ‘Dialogue King’ Mohan Babu has stepped into the shoes of a senior Air Force officer in Suriya’s upcoming film Aakaasam Nee Haddhu (Soorarai Pottru) and his character has been named Bhaktavatsalam Naidu. Surprisingly, this is the 69-year-old thespian’s real name. Touted to be an inspirational story based on the life of Air Deccan founder, Captain GR Gopinath, the biopic is directed by Sudha Kongara Prasad.

After a three-year break from the silver screen, Manchu Manoj is making his acting comeback with Aham Brahmasmi. Bankrolled by his newly launched production house ‘MM Arts’, the pan-Indian film will be releasing in five languages namely, Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada. Directed by debutante Srikanth N Reddy, the first look poster of Aham Brahmasmi featured Manoj in three different variations with a common Tripundra. While TV host-cum-actress Priya Bhavani Shankar has been roped in as the leading lady in Aham Brahmasmi, popular Kollywood actor Samuthirakani will be seen in a pivotal role. The regular shooting will kick-off pretty soon.
