He is an acclaimed ad film cinematographer with more than 3,000 ad films to his credit. He won the Best Cinematographer award [filmfare award] for the movie Anniyan. His debut movie was Atharmam (Tamil) in 1994. He has been congratulated by industry's most acclaimed directors like Mani Ratnam and S. Shankar. In a function Mani Ratnam said "Yes - he is one of the good cinematographers in India".

Now after completing the shooting of Billu, he started shooting for Raavan and Ashokavanam directed by Mani Ratnam. Manikandan walked out of the film because he seems to have committed himself to a Farah Khan project that began in June. Santosh Sivan replaced Manikandan for Raavan and Ashokavanam.
