HYDERABAD: The newly elected president of Movie Artistes Association (MAA) Vishnu Manchu has urged actor Prakash Raj not to quit the association.
Vishnu made public a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation between them on social media. In a message to Vishnu, Prakash Raj said: “Dear Vishnu, Congratulations on your stupendous victory…may you be blessed with all the powers to steer MAA. All the best. I have decided to resign from the membership of MAA. Please accept my decision…will surely support as a non member if you need me. Thank you.”
To Prakash Raj’s message, Vishnu responded saying: “Dear uncle, thank you. I am not happy with your decision. You are much elder to me and you know that success and failure are two sides of the same coin and we have to treat these two imposters the same. I request you not to be emotional. You are an integral part of our family. I need your ideas and we need to work together. I request you not to reply back to me now. I will meet you soon and we will discuss. I love you uncle and please don’t be hasty.
Earlier in the day, Vishnu put out a tweet saying: Good Morning! I am humbled by the love and support my film fraternity has shown to me. Before I say anything more on MAA election; the counting for the EC Members, Joint Secretary and one of the Vice President posts start at 11am today. Will talk after that!
Last night after the election results were declared, Vishnu who was overcome with emotion, chose not to make any victory speech.
