Telugu actor Vishnu Manchu got emotional after being announced as the next president of the Movie Artists Association, the apex body of the Telugu film industry. The 39-year-old defeated actor Prakash Raj in a close contest, with two training guns at each other. Vishnu took some time to digest his victory after an election official declared him the president of the MAA. After a few minutes, the actor burst into tears and later hugged Prakash Raj, who was standing next to him when the results were announced.
Vishnu also took to Twitter to express his gratitude. “Good morning! I am overwhelmed with the love and support my film fraternity has given me. Before I say anything else on the MAA election; Counting of votes for one of the members of the Election Commission, Joint Secretary and Vice President posts this morning Begins at 11am. Will talk after that,” he tweeted soon after being confirmed for the presidency.
