Manchu Manoj is currently busy shooting for his upcoming film David Reddy. The movie is being produced by Nallagangula Venkat Reddy and Bharat Motukuri under the banners of Velvet Soul Motion Pictures and True Radix. The film is directed by Hanuma Reddy Yakkanti.

Set against the backdrop of the British colonial era, David Reddy is being made as a large-scale pan-India film with an intense action drama storyline. The movie is being produced simultaneously in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.

The makers have now shared an exciting update by officially announcing that international actress Maria Riaboshapka will play the female lead in the film. According to the team, the scenes featuring Manchu Manoj and Maria Riaboshapka will showcase strong on-screen chemistry and are expected to impress the audience.

David Reddy tells the story of a warrior who rises in rebellion against the British Empire. Manchu Manoj will be seen in a completely new avatar in the film. The glimpses and first-look posters released earlier have already received a huge response. Expectations are high that this film could mark a strong comeback for Manoj.

The story is set during British rule between 1897 and 1920, and the makers are mounting the film on a prestigious and grand scale.
