Career

While doing his P.U.C. in Kovai Govt. Arts College, he made friends with a lanky young contemporary Sathyaraj. While still at college, Manivannan was bitten by the stage-bug and consequently he staged a few performances. Inspired by the impact the film Kizhake Pogum Rail made on him, he feverishly scribbled a fan mail to the film-maker Bharathirajaand the letter ran to more than a hundred pages. Bharathiraja liked the earnest impressions made by the bearded and emaciated man from Coimbatore. He took him under his fold as an apprentice. Manivannan joined Bharathiraja's camp around 1979, when the revolutionary director was acting in and was directing by P. S. Nivas, Kallukkul Eeram.

He started getting plush offers and was seen acting in as many as thirty films a year.
