Vishnu Manchu’s Day in Medak: Championing Heritage and Tourism

When the District Collector, Smt. Pratima Singh Garu, extended an invitation, Vishnu Manchu didn’t hesitate. The well‑known actor arrived in Medak, Telangana, ready for a deep‑dive into the area’s history, culture and natural splendor—a personal passion of his.

His itinerary read like a snapshot of the district’s highlights. First stop: the imposing Medak Fort, its stone walls whispering stories of centuries past. From there he drifted to the Edupayala Durga Bhavani Temple, where devotees gather amid serene surroundings, and later marveled at the gothic elegance of Medak Cathedral, an architectural marvel that stands out in the landscape.

Standing amid these sites, Vishnu spoke to reporters, eyes bright with enthusiasm. “The forts, forests, lakes, temples and breathtaking landscapes of Medak offer exceptional filming locations,” he said, adding that he’d love to set his next project against these backdrops. The actor’s words hinted at a broader vision: turning Medak into a hotspot not just for tourists, but also for the film industry.

Beyond the camera, Manchu pledged his full support to preservation efforts. He lauded the work of the District Collector and the Tourism Department, noting their dedication to showcasing Medak as a premier destination on the global map. “Visit Medak at least once… witness its history, experience its natural beauty, and embrace a key part of our heritage,” he urged the public.

The visit wrapped up with a hopeful note. With a smile, Vishnu promised to keep the conversation alive, encouraging both filmmakers and travelers to explore the district’s hidden gems. As the sun set over Medak’s rolling hills, the sentiment was clear: this region, rich in stories and scenery, is ready for its moment in the spotlight.
