More about the incident
Manikandan was born and brought up in Usilampatti, in the Madurai district of Tamil Nadu. However, the filmmaker resides in Chennai due to work commitments, with the residence in Usilampatti being under the surveillance of his assistant and driver.
As per reports, it is the driver who saw the gates of the house open, as he visited the premises in the evening. The driver immediately informed the police, who filed a case after initial investigations. It is understood that the police are still looking for the thieves.
M Manikandan on the professional front
Manikandan made his debut with the 2014 comedy drama film Kaaka Muttai, produced by Vetrimaaran. The film revolves around two children from the slums of Chennai, who desired to eat a pizza. How they fight against all odds to reach their goals forms the crux of the story.
Following Kaaka Muttai, the filmmaker came out with two films, Kuttrame Thandanai and Aandavan Kattalai, both of which came out in 2016. The latter marked the first collaboration between Manikandan and Vijay Sethupathi.
Their second collaboration was the highly acclaimed Kadaisi Vivasayi, which featured an 85-year-old farmer named Nallandi, and also had Yogi Babu and Kali Muthu in prominent roles. The film revolves around a farmer, who is arrested under false charges becuase he stood against a property developer, which leads to his crops going bad due to neglect.
