On the occasion of his birthday (May 20), Manchu Manoj, who is making a powerful comeback after a nine-year hiatus, shared heartfelt insights about the film in a press conference. He recalled how the journey began through a chance meeting with Bellamkonda Sai, which led to director Vijay narrating the gripping story of Bhairavam. 'It's a very good action drama,' he said, adding, 'I've never played a role like Gajapathi Varma before. It's ferocious and intense. This film will stand out in my career.' Opening up emotionally, Manoj admitted how moving it was to return to the screen after nearly a decade, calling it a deeply personal and triumphant moment. He spoke highly of the camaraderie with co-stars Sai Srinivas and Rohit, praising their unity and dedication, even in the face of personal tragedies.
