The noted director Bharathiraja had introduced his son Manoj Bharathiraja through the film Taj Mahal which turned out to be a dud at the box office despite having music from A R Rahman.
 
After that, Manoj has been off the radar but now he is back. It is heard that he would be seen essaying a negative role in the new movie Annakodiyum Kodiveeranum.
 
This is being directed by Bharathiraja himself and it is heard that before this, Manoj was busy assisting director Shankar on his ambitious project Endhiran. Welcome back Manoj!!
