Manikandan K.

Manikandan hails from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and his career is honestly kind of a wild ride when you look at it. He kicked things off as a mimicry artist—yep, the dude could literally become anyone with just his voice. From there, he slid into the world of radio, spinning tracks and chatting up listeners as an RJ. But that wasn’t enough for him, apparently. He took that knack for voices and started popping up all over TV and film as a dubbing and voice artist. You’ve probably heard him way more than you realize, even if you didn’t see his face. But Manikandan’s talents didn’t just stop at voices. The guy’s got a way with words too—he started penning dialogues for a bunch of Tamil films. And let’s be real, writing dialogues that actually stick with people? That’s a whole different skill set. Some movies just feel emptier without his quick wit and sharp lines. And just when you think, “Okay, so he’s a behind-the-scenes guy,” he goes and lands roles in some serious Tamil blockbusters. We’re talking Vikram Vedha (2017), which was basically everywhere, Kaala (2018) with its massive hype, and Netrikann (2021), which kept people talking. He isn’t just a background name; he’s right there in the thick of it, leaving his mark whether he’s speaking, writing, or straight-up acting. The man’s career is a mix of hustle, talent, and just being at the right place at the right time—though, honestly, it’s probably more about the hustle.
