Vivs, I mean a role without louu or heroism.
Maddy definitely has a comfort zone- even Anbe Sivam is within his comfort zone. Add Lesa Lesa to his comfort zone roles. Even ND, I dont understand why it is out of comfort zone for him - but one thing, evlo mukkinaalum, Surya ND panna mudiyadhu.Quote:

Surya - avarukku Nerukku Ner-e out of comfort zone dhaan :-). I can hardly think of a comfort zone character for him - even Sanjay Ramasamy is out of his comfort zone. Pithamagan out of his zone. Perazhagan - where he failed in my opinion - also out of zone. Actually, which movie is within his comfort zone? Somebody esplain...

plum,
adhaan vishayame....surya dint "sikkify" inside a comfort zone
Like i said the theme is similar but not entirely same.
Alaipayuthey - a husband who loves his wife but has to fight a emotional battle to regain his wife's life back.
Minnaley - Chocolate boy role at the start but a reluctant love in the end
Dum Dum Dum - Flirt rather than chocolate boy but not similar when you consider second half. Is trying to convince other family to be united.
Jay Jay - Similar to Minnaley.
The roles are quite diverse when you dissect them and he plays the role to perfection despite the similarity in the theme. A actor is not measured by role but the scene by scene performance and in that sense maddy has scored atleast 80 marks for me.

Nobody has a comfort zone as every actor who can act can play different roles. Movies may not be successful but the evidence is there.Quote:

There are roles which had maddy playing similar styles like thambi and evano oruvan but i could find the stark contrast in those two. Not surya for me. I saw ghajini's sanjay ramasaamy and that could be equated to kaaka kaaka surya. Vel rough looking surya could be equated to the aaru surya etc. He is good but certainly not in that league where he can show different set of expressions for different scenes.
But he is like surya in that he repeats the same style for the roles he does.Quote:

BTW on the vijay topic, he is severely diminished in this place but he is a pretty good actor, he has his own trademark style of comedy and has the ability to transcend into the scene when required, but he is super stale with the same set and add to it external factors like dialogues and glaring heroism it makes him look horrible when he actually if you take out everything is not that way.
sorringa..according to me "versatility is playing different roles convincingly atleast to certain extent" not "playing a role diferently in a similar theme convincingly"Quote:

It is actually both. Anyway just as a final note an actor who can certainly differentiate in similar themes can certainly differentiate in other roles as he has been proven to give the performance required for a scene by scene play.
Seri lets move on to Bharath. One of my favourite young stars, i dunt really like his sense of comedy but i like the way he performs in author backed roles. Very subtle.
Kizhinjidhu!
Meendum definition-a? Bill Clinda "is" -ku definition ketta kadhayaa airuchu :)
Vidunga, no matter how different our definition yeppadiyavethu sernthu varuvom IR song interlude mathiri :D
Ada pongappa evlo pesinaalum marubadi marubadi Surya-maddy panchayathu. Ok, nestu candidate
Ravikrishna: I am going to model it on Hulkester's template, 'cos that provides me the advantage of projecting the movie's theme as an attribute of the hero. Come to think of it, this is the only way I can project Ravikrishna
Even though on the surface, it is all lower-middle-class college-age young man, look at the diversity in the roles:
7G Rainbow Colony: Lower middle class loitering young man infatuated with a North Indian neighbour and eventually dealing with the emotional upheavals resulting from his all too brief happy moments with her and the unexpected fatal intervention in their lives
Kedi: Carefree college going youth winning his girl against all odds
Ponniyin Selvan: Breadwinner for his family, his youth wasted away in the struggles of daily life; caught between his quest for his fantasies and the bite of the reality; dealing with his mother's loss.
Ravikrishna, the ultimate versatile star of his generation!
"There are roles which had maddy playing similar styles like thambi and evano oruvan"
No way. Chalk and Cheese roles. In social status, in emotional state, in personal experiences - epdi paarthalum (assuming Evano Oruvan was exactly same as Dombivili Fast)
Neenga result decide pannitteenga appurama reason solreenga :-(
:lol:
Haven't seen Kedi and Ponniyin selvan but Plum, add this too.
kAthalnA summA illai - A crook who steals bikes for a living. Attracted by an imported bike the hero drives, follows him and accompanies him in search of the heroine. Learns a thing or two about louu, affection etc and in fact sacrifices his life for the hero's louu :cry:

Plum, you have seen more RK films than I have, is it not :P
KSI is a gultti remake. Gultti friends of mine had some good things to say about the film - straang rekamandEsan. The film was not bad actually.
And I am not sure if you really want RK in the list :shock:

Mild digression -
There has been some noise about Sivaji being the most versatile actor.
தப்புங்க. Proof ? TMM :-( அவரு நடிக்கவே தெரியாம பயங்கரமா ஃபெயிலியர் ஆன கதை உங்களுக்குத்தெரியாமப்போச்சே?
End digression
app?
TMM?
vivs, he means politics. Tamizhaga Munnetra MunnaNi. Andha party launch paNNittu En Thamizh En MakkaL-nu padam eduthar. Those were dark days for Sivaji fans...
OHHH..OK :)
Viv, going by the same criteria, there are much more versatile actors (very active today regardless of age / experience parameters) outside the screen world :-)
