Career

[edit | edit source]

A contact recommended Manvita to Duniya Soori, and she was called for the auditions of Kendasampige, where she was selected for the lead role.[4] Apart from her acting skills, she possessed qualities that Duniya Soori was looking for in his lead– such as the ability to drive long distances and know Kannada thoroughly. Manvita Harish was well versed in Mangalore Kannada, Malnad Kannada, Dharwad Kannada, and Bengaluru Kannada, which became an advantage. Manvita Harish had been involved in theaters since childhood. She was part of the folk drama troupe of the Late Mr.Bhaskar Nelliteertha. She was also the secretary of Kannada Sangha in college. This was a reason she decided to take film as her career.[5][6] Her co-star in the film was Vicky Varun as Gowri Shetty. They went on to become a success commercially.[7] Her next work was the commercial hit movie Tagaru, directed by Duniya Suri paired with Hatrick Hero Shiva Rajkumar. Manvita Kamath founded Studio Manèkin, an animation and pre-visualization studio, in 2020 alongside Netherlands-based animator and NIE graduate Ankita Khini. She also launched Manèkin, a luxury clothing brand, in collaboration with Soumya SK—an alumnus of Instituto Marangoni—who serves as the brand’s Creative Director.[8]
