The ongoing controversy within the Manchu family doesn’t need much introduction for Telugu audiences. While Manchu Mohan Babu and Manchu Vishnu have been part of one faction, their brother Manchu Manoj has been fighting against them. Controversial incidents surrounding Mohan Babu's residence in Hyderabad caused a stir, but things have now settled down. Recently, however, more events took place in Tirupati. When Manchu Manoj visited the Mohan Babu University in Tirupati, the police issued notices, advising him not to enter. Manoj, however, insisted that he was there to visit his grandparents' graves and proceeded to go inside.

During this time of turmoil, as the family members were filing cases against each other, Manchu Vishnu stirred the situation further by sharing a provocative dialogue on social media. He shared a dialogue from the movie Rowdy, in which his father, Mohan Babu, had acted. The dialogue went as: "Every dog wants to become a lion, but there is a difference between barking on the streets and roaring in the jungle. Hopefully, you will understand this in your next life."

Vishnu mentioned that this dialogue from Rowdy was his favorite and shared it as a way to mark the 50th anniversary of the film. He also commented that every dialogue in the movie is a statement in itself
