Indeed, he had made his debut in more than 15 films in the Telugu industry. His chance as a playback singer in the film industry happened to be an accident in the year 1979. As S.P.Balasubramaniam wasn’t available, music director M.S.Viswanathan’s assistant asked Mano to sing. Hence, mano sang to a few ghazals that made the audience appreciate him as well.
