Manchu Manoj, who has taken a break from films, is back in action. The actor, who is well-known for risky stunts and action sequences is now undergoing training in MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) under the supervision of Pedro D’Souza Jr, a professional MMA contender from Brazil.
The actor also shared news that he has begun training with Pedro at Vidyaniketan in Tirupati. At this point, it is not clear if Manoj has taken up MMA as part of preparation for his next film or if it is a skill set that he wanted to learn.
Last year, he shocked everyone when he announced that he was going to quit films; however, after multiple requests from his fans and film fraternity to reconsider his decision, he backtracked from his initial announcement. The actor is yet to announce details about his next project.
