Manofala has proved himself to be a multi-talented person by acting in several films as character actor and comedian.
Manobala is fond of cinema and has been watching it since childhood. It would have been better if such a person had seen those films and modified the stories accordingly. In his own style, he left a deep impression on cinema by saying that if he had acted like this, things would have been different. So he thought that somehow he would get a small break in cinema.
Because of that, if I tell them that I am going to seek opportunities in cinema at home, they will not let me, so they have come to Chennai by lying that I am going to study in Chennai. He then made it his job to watch all the movies in Chennai without leaving a single theatre. After that sometime he got a chance to meet actor Kamal.
