As a Sri Lankan native Manohar acted as the lead actor in 'Pasa Nila' the first Tamil movie produced in Jaffna in the year 1964. He started his career as a singer in the year 1970 with the popular band Great Friends Enterprises. In early 70s he used to sing Tamil and Sinhala pop songs in music concerts.

The songs have transcended generations. In 1973 he was awarded the Pop Chakravarthi title by the then Tamil Minister Chelliah Kumarasuria.
