KH's contribution to most of his movies is humongues, excessive. Athu ungalukku ஏற்ப்புடையதா இல்லை ங்குறதுக்காக, குறைச்சிக்க முடியாது, மத்தவங்க அந்த வேலையை செஞ்சதாக க்ரெடிட்டை ட்ரன்ஸ்ஃப்ர் பண்ண முடியாது.

Did I transfer the credits? Wasn't it your idol who called him director?Quote:

See, what did SB contribute on his own, without kamal, was my question. If you say Panneer pushpangal was great, i have no issues. In fact , i can only feel happy that one of KH's friend is also doing good. But that doesn't mean that he has ownership for movies like Guna, Mahanadhi etc. The word dummy may sound rude and one may wonder why the heck should kamal use near-proxies. All that could be said, but NO Credit Transfer, even if he is named as Director. The points you and TA made are in applicable and false ones. Thassaal.
if u guys give a title for the point u speak for/against, it would be easy to understand who is on which side...
ta,
andha screenplayku edhuna link irundhaa kudunga... naangalum padikkirom...
It was not definitely on the internet. Somewhere else may be a magazine or book itself. It has been several years. Anyway if I come across that I will definitely let you know though. Kamal's screenplay was very very elaborative and hardly gives anything for creativity of director.Quote:

ok SKV, you seem to have a lot of insider information about SB's (non)contribution to mahAnadhi & gunA.
So much so that you don't agree with even KH (who adjudged that SB should be so credited).

Well, anyways, let me only clarify my stand :
-Defending SB, whom I consider decent material and confident that he did "enough" to be called as a director for the movies that credit him so. Regardless of how much input he got from Kamal and other sources.
got u app... u r talkin for sb, sakala for kh, i am still confused with ta... few days back he said he is convinced that sb did mahanadhi and guna... today he says kamal has written the screenplay so elaborate for mahanadhi like even camera angles, which means sb had very less to contribute... ta, pls explain... nandhaan sariya purinjukkalayaa?
Movies like Pesum Padam, movies where Singeetham srinivas involved, we can consider he is not dummy and may be some extra contribution. Similarly, Ananthu too wud have some contribution. No doubt that even with them, the majority is from Kamal only. Both are pet friends of Kamal, Both os them contributed/shared thier experience to Kamal and also proudly looking at the greater contributions of kamal!
But the same cannot be said about Santhanabarathi, KS Ravikumar & Sundar.C
I disagree with KS Ravikumar though. KSR movies had his commercial stamps with lot of compromises in that movie and that was the exact reason Kamal asks KSR to direct his movies.Quote:
