Ashwin Kakamanu, who rose to fame with films like Mankatha (2011) and Vedalam (2015), is all set to tie the knot with his long-time girlfriend, Sonali Manavalan, a textile design graduate from National Institute of Design, this week. “I proposed to her on a boat while in Mahabalipuram. I met her 10 years ago, on hi5, a social networking site, when I was looking for a female lead for my short film. We became good friends.” Since they are an inter-faith couple, they have opted for a register marriage and a grand reception is on the cards “I haven’t hired any designer for my clothes, but I will be wearing a grey suit for the evening.”
