MAA President Manchu Vishnu Calls for Unity and Restraint in Wake of Recent Incidents

Hyderabad: The Movie Artiste Association (MAA) has called for restraint and unity among its members in the wake of certain recent incidents. MAA president Manchu Vishnu issued a statement urging members to exercise caution and maintain empathy during this sensitive time.

Manchu Vishnu said, "As actors, we have always maintained a close and cordial relationship with every government and public representative. Our industry thrives on collaboration and creativity."

He continued, "It is important to remember that we owe much of our success to the support of various governments over time. The film industry’s foundation in Hyderabad, for instance, was strengthened by the encouragement given by the then Congress government under Chief Minister Marri Channa Reddy. Every government has been kind to our industry, and this tradition of mutual respect continues to this day."

In light of recent developments, he urged MAA members to avoid public comments on sensitive issues. "In light of recent developments, I urge all members to refrain from making public statements or taking sides on sensitive matters. Some issues are personal, while others are tragic, and it is best to let the law take its course. Any comments made out of turn can unintentionally cause harm rather than help the parties involved. This is a time for restraint, empathy, and unity within our association," he said.

With the festive season approaching, Manchu Vishnu concluded his message by wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. "Let us remember that we are one big family—the Telugu Movie Artiste Association—and together, we will navigate through any challenges," he added.
