==Career==
Manivasagam began his career with ''[Namma Ooru Poovatha](/source/Namma_Ooru_Poovatha)'' (1990) and continued to work on village action dramas, often collaborating with actor [Sarath Kumar](/source/Sarath_Kumar). He often produced his own films, and credited his wife, Rajeswari Manivasagam, as the chief producer. The failure of his film, ''[Nadodi Mannan](/source/Nadodi_Mannan_(1995_film))''  (1995), prompted the director to take a break from directing films. His final release was ''[Mappillai Gounder](/source/Mappillai_Gounder)'' (1997) which also opened to negative reviews and performed poorly at the box office.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/index1.html |title=INDOlink Tamil Cinema - Tamil-Thirai-Valai |access-date=16 October 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924042414/http://www.indolink.com/tamil/cinema/index1.html |archive-date=24 September 2015 |url-status=usurped }}</ref> Manivasagam died in 2001.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.cooljilax.com/2001/stat2001.html|title=Tamil Film Statistics - 2001|access-date=16 October 2015|archive-date=1 March 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170301101153/http://www.cooljilax.com/2001/stat2001.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
