We at eNewsReporter join the Tamil film industry and Ajith Kumar’s fans in mourning the loss of his father, P.S. Mani, who passed away. Mani was a popular film producer and director in the 1970s and 1980s, and had a significant influence on Ajith’s career and values.
P.S. Mani’s contribution to Tamil cinema
Mani entered the film industry as a production manager and worked his way up to become a producer and director. He made several hit films, which showcased his flair for melodrama and social issues. Mani was known for his keen eye for talent and launched the careers of many actors and technicians, including Ajith’s mother Mohini, who acted in his film “En Veedu En Kanavar”.
Mani also served as the President of the Tamil Film Producers Council and was instrumental in shaping the industry’s policies and standards. He was respected for his integrity, professionalism, and generosity towards his colleagues and employees. He received several awards and honors for his contributions to Tamil cinema, including the Kalaimamani award from the Tamil Nadu government.
P.S. Mani’s influence on Ajith Kumar
Ajith Kumar, who is one of the leading actors in Tamil cinema today, has often acknowledged his debt to his father for his success and values. In interviews, he has spoken about how his father instilled in him the importance of hard work, honesty, and humility. Ajith has also said that he inherited his love for cars and bikes from his father, who was a racing enthusiast and owned several vintage vehicles.
Mani was a source of inspiration and support for Ajith, especially during his difficult times. When Ajith suffered a major accident during the shooting of “Vaali” in 1998, Mani was there for him every step of the way, both emotionally and financially. Ajith has said that his father’s love and guidance helped him overcome his physical and mental challenges and return to acting with renewed vigor.
