== Career ==
Mano has sung almost 50,000 songs for films and private in 15 languages such as Telugu, Tamil, Oriya, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi.{{citation needed|date=August 2018}}
===Early days and debut===
[[File:Mano (singer).jpg|250px|right|Mano at a concert |alt=]]
He learned Carnatic Music from [[Nedunuri Krishnamurthy]], and acted in a number of stage plays before debuting as an actor, where he acted in 15 films in total, with Rangoon Rowdy being one of them.


===Early days and debut===
His debut as a playback singer was in 1979, when he went to Madras to work with  music director [[M. S. Viswanathan]], with whom he worked for 3 years as an assistant.
While in 1977, Mano was shooting for a Telugu film for which the veteran [[M. S. Viswanathan]] was the music composer, it so happened that the original singer [[S. P. Balasubramanyam]] who was supposed to sing a song could not show up to the recording studio. Accidentally, Mano was asked to show his singing skills by the composer's assistant who was a good friend of Mano's father. Mano rendered a few of the Ghazal songs much to the appreciation of audience present there and the composer himself. From then on, Mano was signed by Viswanathan to sing few track songs upon which the main singer would sing in the final version. In 1982, Mano approached the famous composer [[Chakravarthy (music composer)|Chakravarthy]] seeking a chance for his brother who was upcoming as a Tabla player. However, Chakravarthy insisted that he wanted an assistant like him to sing track songs. Mano, joined his troop and assisted for almost 2 years. In his tenure with Chakravarthy, Mano sang over 2000 tracks for almost all the leading singers.
 
He worked with director Chakaravarthy in 1982, producing dummy versions of songs, before the actual singers came in to do the recording. In 1984, he worked with [[S. P. Balasubrahmanyam]] and Susheela as the song needed a third voice for the film [[Karpoora Deepam]]. Shortly thereafter he worked on a hit Kannada film for [[Hamsalekha]], and subsequently sang in a film for [[Ilaiyaraaja]], after which his independent career took off.<ref name=ib>{{Cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/celeb/interview/nagurbabu.html|title = Nagur Babu (Mano) interview - Telugu Cinema interview - Telugu film singer and music director|work=[[Idlebrain.com]]}}</ref>


===Name change and association with Ilaiyaraaja===
It was Ilaiyaraaja who urged him to use the name, Mano, instead of his birth name - Nagoor Babu - as there already was a popular artist by the name of [[Nagore E. M. Hanifa|Nagore Hanifa]], and this would prevent any mixups.
Before beginning his long standing career with Ilaiyaraaja, Nagoor Babu was rechristened as "Mano" to avoid clash of names with the already established singer [[Nagore E. M. Hanifa]]. The name was selected and christened by Ilaiyaraaja himself in his first song "Annae Annae nee enna sonnae" in the Tamil film Fazil's "Poo Vizhi vaasalilae" title song. Mano went on to record many memorable songs under the same composer for his Tamil and Telugu films. In 1987, Mano got a big break by singing popular songs for the film ''Enga Ooru Pattukkaran''. The songs "Shenbagame Shenbagame" and "Madhura Marikozhundu Vasam" became instant hits among the listeners. However, he also faced criticism from the critics who dubbed that his voice was an absolute clone to [[S. P. Balasubramanyam]].
[[File:Mano (singer).jpg|250px|left|Mano at a concert |alt=]]
Taking the criticism in his stride, Mano went on recording as many as 500 successful songs with Ilaiyaraaja and slowly branched out to sing for other Tamil composers as well.<ref name=ib>{{Cite web|url=http://www.idlebrain.com/celeb/interview/nagurbabu.html|title = Nagur Babu (Mano) interview - Telugu Cinema interview - Telugu film singer and music director}}</ref> He recorded maximum number of duet songs with [[K. S. Chithra]], [[Swarnalatha]] and [[S. Janaki]]. He simultaneously sang many hundreds of songs in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada film industries. His teaming up with [[Hamsalekha]] in Kannada produced many chart buster numbers which are considered evergreen. His few Malayalam, Hindi and Oriya songs also were well received.


===Voice modulation and its success===
Taking the criticism in his stride, Mano went on recording as many as 500 songs with Ilaiyaraaja and slowly branched out to sing for other Tamil composers as well.
The late 1980s saw Mano experimenting with his voice through some modulations and it indeed worked in his favor to silence his critics. In the 1988 Kamal-starrer Soorasamharam, he first experimented with his voice encouraged by his mentor Ilayaraja (who wanted him to sound different in the song - Vedhalam Vandhirukuthu). He took inspiration for that song from the evergreen RD Burman number Mehbooba Mehbooba from Sholay and the song went on to be a big hit and he was much appreciated for the voice modulation. He later followed the same style for some more songs especially those with Arabic tunes. In 1994, he was approached by [[A. R. Rahman]] to sing the duet song "[[Mukkabla]]" with [[Swarnalatha]] for the movie ''[[Kadhalan]]''. Mano was asked to sing in a very different style by the composer and he took the [[R. D. Burman]] route and the Mukkala song went on to become a huge blockbuster which broke all the regional barriers and reached out to the entire country. He recorded the same song in the Telugu and Hindi versions which also were well received. Following this stupendous success in experimentation, many music directors cashed in his newfound fame and made him sing in the same style. Some of the songs he modulated his voice for are "Aye Shabba Aye Shabba" for [[Vidyasagar (music director)|Vidyasagar]]'s ''Karna'', "I Love You" and "Azhagiya Laila" for Sirpy's ''[[Ullathai Allitha]]'' and "Thillana Thillana" for Rahman's ''[[Muthu (film)|Muthu]]''. He has also done a few semi-classical numbers such as ''Athma Varaiyo''. He has also sung a few Hindi film songs for [[Gulshan Kumar]] in ''Aaya Sanam'', ''[[Aaja Meri Jaan]]'', ''{{lang|hi|Kasam Theri Kasam}}'', and ''Chor Aur Chand''.


===Voice-over dubbing===
===Voice-over dubbing===
The year 1995 also saw another face of Mano as the voice-over dubbing artist in the Telugu film industry. He dubbed his voice for almost all [[Rajinikanth]] starrers in Telugu. His voice became almost synonymous with Rajinikanth and was in great demand by all the directors and producers.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/mano-the-voice-of-rajini/article24096201.ece|title=Mano : The voice of Rajini|newspaper=The Hindu|date=6 June 2018|last1=Nadadhur|first1=Srivathsan}}</ref> He also dubbed his voice for [[Kamal Haasan]] in some movies in Telugu.

The film, however, flopped at the box-office. He also produced two movies dubbed from Telugu to Tamil ''Madurai Thimiru'' and ''Kumaran Rajini Rasigan'' (dubbed versions of ''[[Yogi (2007 film)|Yogi]]'' and ''[[Bujjigadu]]'') under the studio name, "Lord Venkateswara Productions" and "Mano Media Entertainments" respectively.<ref name=ib />

Occupation(s)Playback Singer, actor, producer, voice dubbing artist, music composer
Years active1977–present

Nagoor Babu, known by his stage name Mano, is an Indian playback singer, voice-over artist, actor, and composer.[1] Mano has recorded more than 35,000 songs for film and private various Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, Tulu, Konkani and Assamese films.[1][2] He has also performed for over 3000 live concerts across the continents.[1] He has recorded many songs for music director Ilaiyaraaja.[3] Mano is also recognized for being as the full-fledged dubbing artist for Rajinikanth in Telugu from Muthu (1995) onwards.[4]

Career[edit | edit source]

Early days and debut[edit | edit source]

Mano at a concert

He learned Carnatic Music from Nedunuri Krishnamurthy, and acted in a number of stage plays before debuting as an actor, where he acted in 15 films in total, with Rangoon Rowdy being one of them.

His debut as a playback singer was in 1979, when he went to Madras to work with music director M. S. Viswanathan, with whom he worked for 3 years as an assistant.

He worked with director Chakaravarthy in 1982, producing dummy versions of songs, before the actual singers came in to do the recording. In 1984, he worked with S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and Susheela as the song needed a third voice for the film Karpoora Deepam. Shortly thereafter he worked on a hit Kannada film for Hamsalekha, and subsequently sang in a film for Ilaiyaraaja, after which his independent career took off.[5]

It was Ilaiyaraaja who urged him to use the name, Mano, instead of his birth name - Nagoor Babu - as there already was a popular artist by the name of Nagore Hanifa, and this would prevent any mixups.

Taking the criticism in his stride, Mano went on recording as many as 500 songs with Ilaiyaraaja and slowly branched out to sing for other Tamil composers as well.

Voice-over dubbing[edit | edit source]

The year 1995 also saw another face of Mano as the voice-over dubbing artist in the Tamil film industry. He dubbed his voice for almost all Rajinikanth starrers in Telugu. His voice became almost synonymous with Rajinikanth and was in great demand by all the directors and producers.[4] He also dubbed his voice for Kamal Haasan in some movies in Telugu.[4]

Television works[edit | edit source]

Mano has worked on various television programs, most notably as judge and host for a variety of singing shows. Notable among them are Super Singer, Super Singer Junior, Star Singer, Pillalu Piduglu (as host) and more.

Mano also hosts Manathodu Mano – a musical talk show on Jaya TV.[1][6]

Personal life[edit | edit source]

Mano was born into a Telugu speaking Muslim family from Andhra Pradesh. He is married to Jameela in 1985. His son Shakir is an actor and has starred in Naanga (2012).[1][7]
