Telugu cinema luminary Lakshmi Manchu, known for her versatile roles in Anaganaga O Dheerudu, W/O Ram, Chandamama Kathalu, and Dongata, has recently made a significant move in her career, relocating from Hyderabad to the bustling city of Mumbai. The accomplished actress aims to explore a diverse array of roles and opportunities in the dynamic world of Indian cinema, outside the confines of her comfort zone.

In a recent conversation with Mid-Day, Lakshmi shared her eagerness to broaden her horizons and push her creative boundaries. With her eyes set on web series and movies, she expressed her excitement about the wider spectrum of roles available in Mumbai, compared to the relatively limited options in the South Indian film industry.

Despite her notable lineage as the daughter of legendary actor Mohan Babu, Lakshmi remains determined to pave her own path, emphasizing her willingness to participate in auditions and engage with various production houses in pursuit of engaging projects. Her decision to shift to Mumbai reflects her dedication to taking on fresh challenges and exploring new facets of her acting prowess.

Lakshmi’s transition to Mumbai was not without its share of concerns from her family. While her mother provided unwavering support, her father, Mohan Babu, initially expressed reservations, citing the challenges and uncertainties of Mumbai’s entertainment industry. However, determined to make her mark, Lakshmi remains resolute in her pursuit of carving a niche for herself on her own terms.

In her recent endeavours, Lakshmi was last seen in the Malayalam film industry with a notable role in Mohanlal’s Monster. Her upcoming project, Adiparvam, is an intriguing period drama set between 1974 and 1990, promising to showcase her versatility and talent.

Lakshmi Manchu’s move to Mumbai marks a significant milestone in her career, symbolizing her fearless approach to embracing new challenges and carving her own path in the world of Indian cinema. As she embarks on this new journey, her determination and passion for acting serve as an inspiration for aspiring artists navigating the ever-evolving landscape of the entertainment industry.
