Mani a.k.a Bonda Mani has been working quietly even during the heydays of the Senthil-Koundamani pair. This loveable comedian debuted in K.Bhagyaraj’s Pounu pounuthan. He has been in several hit movies and his forthcoming offerings are Vijay’s Sachin and Kalaignar’s Mannin Maindhan. Asked about his funny epithet, he said that while struggling in Kollywood, he had survived only on a diet of bondas and hence he took fancy for it and added the name of his mentor, Koundamani. His real name is Kedheeswaran. Best of luck, mate!
