Manchu Manoj signs five Telugu films

Chennai: After a dull 2012, Manchu Manoj seems to be on a singing spree this year - he has signed five Telugu films and hopes to complete all of them by the year end. The actor, however, clarified that he`s not doing any film with producer Ramachandra Rao of Sai Ratna creations. "I`m not doing Sai Ratna creations movie. Apart from that, I have signed five projects for 2013. Will try my best to finish them up by this December," Manoj posted on his Twitter page. Last year Manoj had only two Telugu releases – ‘Mr. Nookaya’ and ‘Uu Kodathara Ulikki Padathara’. The former bombed, while the latter garnered lackluster response at the box-office. IANS
