Upcoming Telugu actor Manoj Manchu, son of veteran actor Mohan Babu, has been finalized to play a crucial role in Ultimate star Ajith's 50th film Mangatha to be directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by Dhayanidhi Alagiri under the banner of Cloud Nine.
A bilingual to be made in Tamil and Telugu,Mangatha will start rolling in September with Neetu Chandra as heroine and music by Yuvanshankar Raja. Venkat Prabhu is giving finishing touches to the script, which will be based on a group of cons.
Meanwhile, Manchu Manoj, who was to reprise his original role in the Tamil remake (Vaanam) of Allu Arjun's super hit Telugu film Vedam, is likely to miss the Tamil version as his shoulder injury, which occurred during the shooting of Nenu Meeku Telusa in 2008, got aggravated recently. As advised by his doctors, the actor will leave for USA to undergo surgery in a couple of days.
