Manoj’s latest venture 'Raju Bhai' is schedule to be released May 18. Despite having done two films, 'Donga Dongadi' and 'Sree', in the past, he didn't taste success but is confident of his latest film. He plays a man who gets into the mafia world and later falls in love. "It is a realistic film and and will definitely be received well by movie-goers," says the hunk. The film is a remake of Tamil film 'Chithiram Pesuthadi'. Manoj says that he is ready for negative roles too if he is convinced about the character, and is game for multi-starrers.
