As the D-day for the highly anticipated Movie Artists Association (MAA) elections is fast approaching, Manchu Vishnu, who is contesting for the President post is going all guns open to campaign for the elections. He held a press briefing on Friday at Hyderabad.
During the meeting, Manchu Vishnu made sensational comments on the elections. He said problematic situations are taking place during the elections and maintained that such things never happened in the past. Sadly, the election issue has been in the headlines, he said.
Calling MAA as the most influential association across the Telugu states, Manchu Vishnu said holding the President post of MAA association is a big responsibility and expressed confidence in having the required efficiency to make it to the post.
Everyone including the members in my panel is not happy with the election row and how the developments are taking place related to the elections. Forget about others, even my father is not happy and he wants me to not run the elections. In his career, he didn't witness anything like forming groups in the industry, he opined.
Talking about the 2015-16 MAA elections, Manchu Vishnu maintained that he was asked by Dasari Narayana Rao Garu and Murali Mohan to run the elections for the Executive President post. But my father said no to the offer saying that I don't have enough experience and I was occupied with a few films. But now I Am fully ready to bring changes in MAA. I have confidence in doing the same, Manchu Vishnu added.
Manchu Vishnu found fault with the opposition panel using the term charity organisation to describe MAA. He said the MAA association is helping the elderly actors by giving pensions to them. Using Charity is not advisable, he added.
