Director, villain, comedian, all bundled into
one, Manivannan is not a free man today. Wherever
he goes he is mobbed and he is bulldozed into
speaking about the superstar’s movie Sivaji
for he is playing a role in the film. But how
he can speak? Shankar has strictly ordered that
the artistes shall not discuss the movie even
with family folks. At a function, Manivannan
was once again cornered by a mob who wanted
something from him about Sivaji. Well, the comedian
consented to speak. He calmed the group and
began: “What should I tell you about Sivaji?
He’s a great man. He played father to
superstar in Padaiyappa. Who can forget the
powerful dialogue from Parasakthi?” before
the crowd could realize that it was made a sucker
of, the guy escaped.
