Maithily rechristens herself as Manickyam

Nobody would have forgotten that petite young girl who made her debut in Ranjith's 'Palery Manickyam'. Maithily, the actress who had shown much promise in her debut film, later went on to sign a couple of other films as well.

However, now she has decided to change her name, since there is another Maithily in showbiz. Hence she has decided to call herself Manickyam from now on, the name of her character in her debut film.

Manickyam is all set to start the shoot of the Jayasurya film 'Nallavan', in which she has been promised a meaningful role. She had also done Mammootty's 'Chattambinaadu', in which she was cast opposite Vinu Mohan.

This would be the third time Manickyam changes her name. Originally Brighty Balachandran, and later Maithily, this Manickyam now hopes to conquer Malluwood under her new name.
