Kalabhavan
Mani,
who
is
currently
keeping
away
from
the
industry,
is
all
set
to
change
his
track
as
an
actor
to
that
of
a
host.
Yes,
the
actor
is
all
set
to
host
a
reality
show
in
the
popular
Malayalam
channel
Kairali
TV.
Kalabhavan
Mani
will
host
a
show
on
folk
songs
(Naadan
Pattu),
of
which
he
is
all
famous.
There
are
about
20
contestants
in
the
show
and
the
programme
will
start
from
next
month.
The
reality
show
has
been
titled
Mani
Melam.
It
was
Kalabhavan
Mani
who
made
the
folk
songs
very
much
popular.
He
used
to
sing
all
the
songs
that
his
father
had
taught
him
in
his
childhood
days.
He
never
missed
any
stage
without
performing
at
least
4-6
folk
songs,
which
has
indirectly
made
the
songs
very
popular.
The
actor
used
to
go
emotional
while
singing
and
used
to
tell
that
he
used
to
fight
out
his
hunger
by
singing
these
songs
during
his
earlier
days.
The
actor,
who
is
down
to
earth,
also
says
that
folk
songs
have
more
life
in
it
when
compared
to
normal
filmy
songs.
Meanwhile,
Kalabhavan
Mani
was
in
news
recently
after
he
was
sent
a
summons
by
the
customs
to
report
before
them.
He
was
caught
hold
at
the
airport
with
a
bracelet,
which
he
was
wearing
and
when
the
officials
had
asked
about
the
source,
the
angry
actor
threw
it
to
them
and
had
walked
off
the
place!
