The “Rocking Star” is officially back in action. Celebrating Republic Day with a massive update, the makers of Manchu Manoj’s highly anticipated film, David Reddy, have finally unveiled the first-look poster, sending shockwaves through social media. After a deliberate hiatus to handpick impactful scripts, Manoj appears to have found the perfect vehicle for his comeback.
The poster features the actor in a fierce, rugged warrior avatar, radiating a level of raw intensity and commanding screen presence that fans have been waiting years to see. This visual confirms the physical transformation Manoj underwent following the “War Dog” glimpse, proving his dedication to this heavy-duty role.

Set against the evocative backdrop of British-occupied India, David Reddy is being mounted as a massive Pan-India historical action epic. Directed by Hanuma Reddy Yakkanti and produced by Nallagangula Venkat Reddy and Bharat Motukuri, the film aims to capture a global audience by releasing in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada.
Adding a fresh international flair to the cast is Ukrainian actress Maria Ryaboshapka, who stars as the female lead. With its blend of pre-independence history and high-octane action sequences, David Reddy is positioning itself as one of the most significant projects in Manchu Manoj’s career to date.
