description: "Maanu is an Indian dancer and former actress. After making her film debut with Saran's Kadhal Mannan (1998), she opted against an acting career and continued pursuing her passion as a dancer by setting up a performing arts company and featuring in dance troupes worldwide. She resurfaced in 2011, when she aided actor Rajinikanth's recovery from ill health in Singapore, and briefly returned to acting with Enna Satham Indha Neram (2014)."
