Completing a quarter century in the music industry is no mean achievement for anyone! But for playback singer-turned-actor Nagoor Babu, who was rechristened as Mano by none other than maestro Ilayaraja, the 25 years are his golden moments in life.

The award-winning singer, who has rendered 22,000 songs in sixteen languages, is being felicitated at a gala show Mano 25 organised by Radhika, who runs a popular matrimonial site.

With live orchestration by Sadhaga Paravaigal, the event will showcase Mano's 25 best songs from films like Nayagan, Mutthu, Chinna Thambi among others.

"Whatever I am today, the credit goes to my wife who stood by me through my ups and downs", Mano openly admits.

Noted film personalities are expected to grace the occasion.
