Manchu Manoj piling on weight after the marriage is a fact that is visible in the recently released "Shourya". Although Manoj in his media interviews said he put on weight for the role in the movie, it is not clear why the character requires him to be stout.
Whatever be his reason to gain weight, the look received bad comments. He realized the fact that his weighty makeover didn't go well with the audiences.
Irrespective of hits and flops, he has following among youth as he picks up different scripts. But the same section of audiences didn't like his look and the movie is the feedback he got.
So, Manoj is hitting the gym to get perfect lean look. He will be going for complete makeover for his new movies. After "Potugaadu", he hasn't had a hit. Manoj may reinvent himself to get a boost to his career.
On the other hand, "Attack", his film with Ram Gopal Varma, is set for release this summer.
