Manchu - daughter of Mohan Babu, an actor, producer, anchor, was recently in the news when she initiated core discussions on the welfare of the women in the Telugu film industry in the wake of Me Too movement.

With the support of actors Supriya Yarlagadda, Jhansi, Suma Kanakala, Swapna Dutt (producer), and Nandini Reddy (director), they formed a support group and pane Voice Of Women (VoW), to help women in media and entertainment. VoW members raised voice against lewd remarks on women in cinema, condemned casting couch and harassment issues within the Telugu film industry.

Speaking about the initiative, she said, "We started this [redressal committee] solely because women were facing backlash and were unable to get work after exposing culprits on social media. While addressing the issue, women need to feel safe and not be victimised,"

Manchu further explained, "It's upon us women to take up the vigilante role. Abusers can't be allowed to settle back into a routine without admonishment. VoW is affiliated to all the subsidiary organisations of the movie industry like the Producers' Council, Writers' Council and Movie Artists's Association. We have red boxes [complaint boxes] at workplaces and have handed out email addresses where women can share their concern anonymously and we take it forward."

On the work front, Manchu was last seen in the Telugu web series Mrs Subbalakshmi and hosted the Telugu television show, Maharani.
