He started his career on YouTube and has come this far. Everyone says you can only be in the film industry if you have a background—and I agree, it does help. As a nepo kid, cheptunnanu, ikada pappulu udakav (As a nepo kid, I am telling you—it's not enough). You need to struggle to stay afloat.' Manchu Manoj about Vijay Sethupathi Manoj called Suhas an inspiration for many and drew a comparison with Vijay Sethupathi.
