Popular Malayalam actor Manikandan Acharya is familiar to Tamil audiences for his role in Superstar Rajinikanth's 'Petta' directed by Karthik Subbaraj and is currently starring alongside Vijay Sethupathi and Gayathrie in 'Mamanithan'.

On Friday, versatile actor Manikandan Achari took to his social media handle to announce the arrival of his first baby. Sharing an adorable picture of him receiving the baby in the hospital, Manikandan wrote that he has been blessed with a baby boy.

Earlier, the actor had shared pictures from the baby shower ceremony of his wife Anjali. The pictures had set social media on fire too. Manikandan Achari got married to Anjali last year during the lockdown. As the wedding was a low-key affair with very few people in attendance due to the coronavirus pandemic, the actor donated the money that he saved for his wedding to Kerala Chief Minister's Relief Fund.
