Hey fellow fans! Let me share some fascinating tidbits about one of my all-time favorites, Manoj Bharathiraja. This incredible actor was the cherished child of legendary director Bharathiraja and his beloved wife Chandraleela. Born on the 11th of September in 1976, in the heart of Tamil Nadu’s Kambam, he grew up with a younger sister named Janani by his side.

Meanwhile, the music album received rave reviews, cementing itself as a timeless masterpiece from A.R. Rahman.
Afterward, Manoj Bharathiraja took up multiple acting roles in diverse films like Samuthiram with Sarath Kumar and Murali, as well as others such as Pallavan, Baby, Annakodi, and numerous others.
