V.Manikandan
reference
V. Manikandan’s name’s buzzing right now, especially after Viduthalai Part 2 dropped in 2024. Folks who keep an eye on Indian cinema probably clocked him earlier in Infinity (2023) too. The guy’s got range, you know? Viduthalai Part 2 isn’t just your run-of-the-mill sequel. There’s this weight to it—intensity, raw emotion, the kind of stuff that sticks with you after the credits roll. Manikandan doesn’t just blend into the background. He’s right there, making you pay attention, adding layers to every scene he’s in. Maybe it’s his expressions, maybe it’s the way he delivers his lines—either way, there’s an authenticity you can’t fake.
Infinity, on the other hand, was a totally different beast. Sci-fi, wild ideas, a bit of that “what if?” energy. And again, Manikandan slides right into that world, not missing a beat. It’s kinda wild how he can jump from gritty realism to something more stylized and cerebral. Not every actor can pull that off. People are definitely starting to sit up and notice him. There’s something about the way he handles complex roles—nothing forced, just natural, like he’s been doing this forever.
Honestly, with back-to-back projects like these, it wouldn’t be a shock if he becomes a regular name on everyone’s radar. He’s got that spark—just enough mystery, just enough charisma. Keep an eye out, because he’s not slowing down anytime soon.
