Manikuttan is one of the most loved stars of Malayalees. The actor is noticed through the television sector. Kayamkulam Kochunni is the best performance of his career. The actor entered the film industry from here. But apart from a few films like Chota Mumbai, the actor could not shine much in the film industry.
It was later that the actor appeared as a contestant in the Bigg Boss program. Manikuttan came to compete in the third season. Manikuttan became the title winner. But how many people know that Manikuttan’s real name is Thomas James? This is known to the outside world through Bigg Boss. But the reality is that there are still a section of people who do not know this.
Most of the people asked why he gave up the nickname Thomas James and took the nickname Manikuttan. Now Manikuttan is coming to reveal the story behind it. Manikuttan told this interesting story while participating in a private channel program. Manikuttan himself later shared the same part of the interview on social media.
“I have said this in many places. Many have asked if it is to forget the name. But nothing like that. My name is Manikuttan. I learned everything from the house where my father worked. His aunt’s name was Mani. They have done a lot for my studies and so on. They were called Mani Anti. They have helped my family a lot even before that. The name Manikuttan is given out of love for them. Today many people are asking to change the name Manikuttan. Tomorrow there will be a time in our country where love and mutual help will be discussed beyond religion. Then this name Manikuttan will be discussed. That’s why I gave the name Manikuttan” – says Manikuttan.
