The makers of the upcoming pre-independence action spectacle ‘David Reddy’ have locked a major promotional date to celebrate lead actor Manchu Manoj’s birthday.
The film’s official teaser will be unveiled this Wednesday, May 20, 2026, offering a first look at the high-octane canvas envisioned by director Hanuma Reddy Yakkanti.
Alongside the teaser announcement, the production team revealed that the actor—long affectionately known as the “Rocking Star”—will now be introduced with a brand-new moniker: “Raw King” Manchu Manoj.
Bankrolled by Velvet Soul Motion Pictures and True Radix, David Reddy is a grand, pan-Indian historic drama set against the British Raj between 1897 and 1920, following a fearless warrior’s violent rebellion against the empire.
The film is being produced simultaneously in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada, with post-production scaling up for a late-year release.
