==Career==
Raghu Manivannan made his debut with the [[Sathyaraj]]-starrer ''[[Maaran (2002 film)|Maaran]]'' (2002), with a critic from [[The Hindu]] stating "as the studious first year medical college student suits the character so well, that you forget that the lad is just acting out a role".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://thehindu.com/thehindu/fr/2002/09/27/stories/2002092701040200.htm |title=The Hindu : Maaran |website=thehindu.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030210214543/http://thehindu.com/thehindu/fr/2002/09/27/stories/2002092701040200.htm |archive-date=10 February 2003 |url-status=dead}}</ref> He subsequently failed to get bigger film offers and worked on a couple of low-budget ventures and shelved films including ''Kadhal Valarthen'', where he worked with [[Manoj Bharathiraja]] and [[Kunal (actor)|Kunal]]. In 2013, Raghu Manivannan played a leading role alongside [[Sathyaraj]] in his father's 50th directorial venture, ''[[Nagaraja Cholan MA, MLA]]''. He had also signed up to act in his father's next project ''Thalattu Machi Thalattu'', but the film was cancelled after [[Manivannan]] died in June 2013.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sify.com/movies/manivannan-was-a-father-figure-komal-sharma-news-national-ngppOdcejjcsi.html |title=Manivannan was a father figure: Komal Sharma |website=[[Sify]] |access-date=9 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180811064751/http://www.sify.com/movies/manivannan-was-a-father-figure-komal-sharma-news-national-ngppOdcejjcsi.html |archive-date=11 August 2018 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
