(We) decided to make it simple, with only family members attending it. At a temple nearby, there will be the thalikettu (tying of the knot). Your mental presence and blessings will be there, I hope. If you’d like join the wedding celebration, do post videos or wishes online. Hope you are all there with me. After this (COVID-19) is over, I hope to get together with all of you, for a celebration of some sort,”

Manikandan will soon be in Seenu Ramaswamy's upcoming film, 'Maamanithan' in Tamil which has Vijay Sethupathi playing the lead role.
