Manivannan is the director
of several intense and thought-provoking
movies. His grip over the
screenplay and felicity with
dialogue made his films memorable.
He was an associate of Bharathiraja.
He also excelled as an actor
in villainous, comedy or character
roles. His staying power is
remarkable as he is a constant
fixture in several films today.
His son, Raghuvannan, was
bitten by the acting bug but
his films did not do too well.
But Raghu is trained in direction
as well. He has carved a name
for himself by directing several
short films like Color
of Sound, Punnagaiyin
Mouname, TN 09 Q
0888 etc. These were
critically acclaimed. Soon
he will be directing a full-length
feature film.
