Top 10 Versatile Actors

Shivaji is the best of all Shankar movies, IMO!

All others (that I've watched) are many steps below!

Plum:-)

IMO, "veeram" is a necessary quality to be displayed on screen to be called versatile. Nagesh adhil ambEl :-)

So, by my definition, all those "character" artistes are out.

Only heroes & villains can be counted in!

Plum, first of all let us not include seniors here. As SP said, they have been around, proved their talents, their watchamacallit versatility and are still at it. So, Kamal, Rajini & Sathyaraj should be out as candidates (yen Prabhu-va podulanu kooda tonuthu, but leave him out too). If so, then my candidate is definitely Madhavan.

In fact, 10 years ago, I'd have nominated Prabhu Deva too.

:lol: I can imagine that very well. In fact, the same Vivek might agree with me.

But as I said, ten years ago. Ippo onnum recommend pannura mathiri illa.

PD was doing very well then, he was moving about in films of different genre, may it be teen love, comedy, or pure masala. He blended well with Kamal in Kadhala Kadhala (I like the film, so sue me) and really acted his baggy pants off in a little known gem of a movie called Yezhaiyin Sirippinile. I really liked his performance here.

Plus he can be inventive. He brings much more to the table. 10 rooba kodutha 9 roobavila nadichi, estra massage service koduppaaru.

And we know how good he is in comedy, a trait largely lacking in some of the actors of his (my) generation and younger.

Of course, he's a lousy dancer :wink:
