In an exclusive intevview with us, Manobala has opened up about his hitherto unknown close friendship with Thalapthy Vijay. He has stated that Vijay's circle of friends within the industry is very small but Sanjeev, Sriman and himself are very deep with the mass hero. The veteran director and current favourite comedian has gone on to explain that whenever he feels depressed he would watch his favourite ten Vijay song videos and will immediately get to an upbeat mood.

Manobala gushes about the comedy sense of Vijay and also feels that he would make a great leader and only when he speaks political dialogues the audience find them effective. There is more in this video interview about the Nadigar Sangam issues, 'Bigg Boss 3' and Manobala's involvement in 'Bigil'.
