Tamil Industry is missing one of the greatest star/director.
May his soul rest in peace.
Rip :(
Manivannan, one of the new generation director in 80's. Remembered for his films Gopurangal Saivathillai, Nooraavathu Naal, Amaithippadai, Chinnathambi-Periyathambi etc. in direction. Remembered for his acting roles in films like Muthalvan, Amaithippadai, Ullaththai Alliththaa etc. A staunch Tamil supporter. May his soul rest in peace.
RIP .. one of the best commercial director & writer
What a sad news, Manivannan sir deserved to live longer than this. May his soul rest in peace. :-(
Quite sad. At least I had a chance recently to appreciate his hard work & dedication in my review. One of the "asalt" directors TFI had or will ever have.
ALL my Respects to film maker / Story teller / Villan / actor / Much Much More Manivannan

Too young to die :(
சிறந்தக் கலைஞர். பன்முகத் திறமையுள்ள மனிதர். ஒரு படைப்பாளியாக மிகச் சிலரே கடந்த முப்பது ஆண்டுகளில் தமிழ்த் திரையுலகில் பல்வேறு கதைக்களனில் முயற்சித்திருக்கிறார்கள் (இங்கேயும் ஒரு கங்கை, இருபத்தி நாலு மணி நேரம், முதல் வசந்தம், விடிஞ்சா கல்யாணம், பாலை வன ரோஜாக்கள், சின்னத் தம்பி பெரியத் தம்பி, அமைதிப்படை, வாழ்க்கைச் சக்கரம், இனி ஒரு சுதந்திரம்.. ). அவர்களின் ஒருவர் மணிவண்ணன். நடிப்பில் நிறைய படங்களில் ஜொலித்திருக்கிறார். கோகுலத்தில் சீதை, அவ்வை சண்முகி, உள்ளத்தை அள்ளித்தா, அமைதிப்படை, வாழ்க்கைச் சக்கரம் உடனே ஞாபகத்திற்கு வருகிறது. அரசியல் வாழ்க்கை எனப் பார்க்கும்போது, ஒரு தமிழராக பெரியார் சிந்தனைகளை வெளிப்படுத்தியவர். அரசியல் கூழைக்கும்பிடு அமைப்புக்கள், சாதி என குறுகிய வட்டங்களின் தன்னை ஈடுபடுத்திக் கொள்ளாமல் தனக்கென ஒரு நிலைப்பாட்டுடன் வெளிப்படுத்திக் கொண்டவர். நன்றி மணிவண்ணன்.
The movies which Manivannan had directed and which I found memorable are : Amaidhipadai, Ganam Kortaar Avargale, Chinna Thambi Periya Thambi, Mudhal Vasantham, Paalaivana Rojaakkal, 24 Mani Neram, Gopurangal Saivadhillai, among others. The movies in which I liked his performance (as a comedian, as a villain, in a supporting role, etc) are too many to be listed here. Death has snatched away a talented actor-director-writer at a relatively young age. May his soul rest in peace, and may God give solace to the family members in their time of grief.
It was a joy to watch him on screen. Unfortunate that we wont get to see him again in another film......:(
:(...
ரங்கீலா ஊர்மிளாவ தெரியாம நீ எதுக்கு உயிரோட இருக்க?
தமிழ்நாட்டை அவமானபடுத்தறையா?
RIP director & artist Manivannan!

We are losing some fine artists! They forever live in their endearing work!

It is a shock the producer of good movies loses his life. The box office results of Kadal and NVP might have resulted, or it could be personal life problems too.
may his soul rest in peace.
:-( The link clearly says he suffered huge losses from Kadal & couldn't release his next film, Madha Gaja Raja. I was wondering all these days why MGR, which was supposed to release last December got postponed to Feb and then got pushed to May but has never released since then. RIP!Quote:

Ravi Shankar, the grandson of renowned filmmaker Late LV Prasad, produced films like Vijay’s Nanban, Dhanush’s Mayakkam Enna, Simbu’s Poda Podi and Kamal’s Vasool Raja MBBS.
The recovered body was sent to the Kakinada hospital for post-mortem, while police are investigating whether this is a act of suicide or murder.
A source close to Ravi Shankar reveals to us that the producer was under a lot of mental agony following the huge loss incurred from the distribution of Maniratnam’s Kadal and also his sinking dairy business in Yanam . Because of his financial trouble he could not even release his banners actor Vishal starrer Madha Gaja Raja for more than six months now.

Vaali (T. S. Rangarajan) 29 October 1931 - 18 July 2013
Vaali has not only written lyrics in pure Tamil, but all sorts of folk, hip-hop, rhythm and blues as well. He has also mixed other languages in Tamil songs. The legend goes that Vaali at one time in his life was contemplating suicide due to immense poverty when he heard the lines of the song "Mayakkama Kalakkamma" from the movie SumaiThangi, penned by Kannadasan. The lines "Unakkum keezhey ullavar kodi ninaithu paarthu nimmadhi naadu..." changed his mindset and renewed his vigour to live a new life. Thus was born the great poet we know today.
He has quoted that there were 24 hours with him but no food to eat and next came a time when he had enough on the plate but no time to eat.
Vaali sir... you are one of the best writers TFI ever had. RIP...
A versatile and prolific lyricist who strode across many generations and captured millions of hearts with his wonderful lyrics.
RIP.
Lyricist Vaali passes away
http://www.thehindu.com/features/cin...cle4927939.ece
CHENNAI, July 18, 2013
Lyricist Vaali, who secured a place on a par with Kannadasan at a time the latter strode like a colossus in the Tamil film music world, died in Chennai on Thursday evening.
Vaali, who dominated the film world for over five decades and wrote songs for many a protagonist played by actors from MGR to Dhanush, was not well for quite some time. He was in hospital for over a month. He was 82 and is survived by his son.
His songs were packed with brilliant lines and imagery and there were times when Tamil film music buffs were at their wits' end to discern whether a particular song was written by Kannadasan or Vaali.
On the one hand, he wrote songs like Madhavi Ponmayilal, Ammavendrazhaikatha uyirillaye, Naanaga naan illai and Janani janani that transported the listener to a different plane, on the other he entertained the masses with low-brow songs such as chikkupukku chikkupukku railay, mukkala muqabla and singari sarakku nalla sarakku.
As professional rivals Kannadasan and Vaali had joined issue with each other on public platforms. But in private life they were close friends and spent many an evening together.
Overwhelmed by his the brilliant imagery of the lines in the song Pakkathu Veetu Paruva Matchan in the film Karpagam, Kannadasan declared in a public meeting that Vaali would be his heir-apparent. It was in this function in 1963, Viswanathan and Ramamurthy were given the title Mellisai Mannargal.
Though he had written songs for MGR, Sivaji Ganesan and present day heroes, he could easily be described a “poet laureate” of former Chief Minister MGR.
If MGR made films with political message that would stand by him in good stead in the days to come, Vaali’s lines reinforced his ideas.
Naan Aanai Ittal (enga veetu pillai), moondrezhuthil yen moochirukkum (Theiva Thai), kan pona pokkiley kaal pogalama (Panam Padaithavan), Puthiya vaanam, puthiya boomi (Anbe Vaa), Thambi Naan Piranthen Kanchiyilay Netru, and tharaimel pirakka vaithan (Padakoti) galvanised the masses.
Born S. Rangarajan in Thiruparaithurai near Tiruchi in 1931, he assumed the pen name Vaali, as he was an ardent fan of famed artist Mali working with Ananda Vikatan, now a Tamil bi-weekly. Vaali was also a student of the Government College of Arts in Chennai. Vaali was also known as Vaaliba Kavignar (youthful lyricist)
A theatre enthusiast, he had directed many plays in Tiruchi and Srirangam and worked for the All India Radio (AIR) as a part-time employee, before making a foray into the film world as lyricist.
In his memoir he recalled that two youngsters would regularly visit his drama rehearsals and he wanted one of them to take a role of woman in his plays. The youth who rejected the offer later became Sri Jayendra Saraswathi of the Kanchi Sankara Mutt. The other person was Sivaji Ganesan.
He landed in Chennai in search of opportunities in the film world and spent his days smoking cigarettes and drinking water as he had little money to buy food. He was staying in a lodge, with Nagesh, later to become a master comedian, in the next room.
The break came in 1958 and he wrote his fist songs for the film Azhagarmalai Kallan. The first film he wrote for MGR was Nallavan Vaazhvaan and the dialogues were penned by former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai.
But Ithayathil Nee starring Gemini Ganesan gave him the much needed popularity. MGR starrer Padakotti took him to new heights as a lyricist. Subsequently he wrote almost all films of MGR and shared a fantastic relationship with M.S. Viswanathan.
“I was writing lines for my livelihood. I started paying tax only after joining hands with MSV,” he had said in his memoir.
Vaali also wrote some of the fine songs for Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth.
His devotional song Karpanai entralum Karchilai entralum on Lord Muruga continues to move generations of devout listeners. “Koovi azhaithal kural koduppan”, set to the raaga valaji has become an immortal Tamil krithi rendered in classical music concerts.
While he was a believer, he benefited immensely from his association with the leaders of the Dravidian Movement including three former Chief Ministers C.N. Annadurai, MGR and M. Karunanidhi.
A prolific writer, he had penned the biographies of Rama (Avathara Purushan), Krishna (Krishna Vijayam) and Ramanuja (Ramanuja Kaviyam) in verse form. Pandavar Bhoomi is Mahabharatha in modern verse. His latest work was the biography of Srimad Azhagiyasingar, the 45th Jeer of the Ahobila Mutt.
Not only that... vaaliba kavignar vaali has written lyrics for MDs from MSV to current Anirudh... a record that can never be broken!Quote:

Rest in peace Vaali sir. He was sixty years elder to me and yet treated me like a friend. Can never forget the times I've shared with him.
I've had the privilege of working with him on Ethir Neechal. Proud to have done that. He will always be in our hearts.
