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.

---

I agree and panneer pushpangal is very good example to get credit.

They are surely minimal. And some areas kamal himself will give free hand. Like, choosing artists. You can see the KSR regualars in his Kamal combos.

In Dasa, he suggested the final song. But again, its design, content etc kamal's ideation is visible. Many think that the rape scene was there becos its KSR brand. Thats a wrong thought. There are KSR films without rape scenes, too :lol2:

Inthaalu enna reason kaagavo pala naaLaa dummy directors use pannappoga, kadaisila, naanga bathil solla vendiyirukku. cha!

For those who are not as dhArALam as SKV, some facts about Singeetham :

-He was born in 1931 (now 81) ; so, not "pet friend" but pretty senior to KH
-He won NA for a TF in 1974, years before KH became a mainstream hero (dhikkaRRa pArvathi based on Rajaji's story, *-ing Srikanth / Lakshmi)
-Of course majority of his works in TF had Kamal but he had achieved enough elsewhere without him (e.g. "mayoori" featuring the prosthetic legged dancer Sudha Chandran)

BTW, I don't think Ananthu had directed KH...(could be his buddy / wrote for the movies etc but never directed him IIRC).

Unlike SKV's attempt to not include SB, per that interview, he is also another buddy ("pet friend") to KH for 40 years or so.

Accordingly, Kamal values him. While HCKHF's don't care for him, may be because they feel KH should get 100% credit for what they consider as two of his best-ever films and that this SB fellow has "robbed" him of that.

Unfortunately, KH himself doesn't think so and there ends the story.

this is what TR would have said in response to your post.

ungalukku venumnA ivanga Dummy.
Ana ivanga thAn en Attathukka kidaichcha muthal Rummy.

KSR made tenaali story for Rajini. But kamal took it and made his own. Ithu ellaam already well discussed in kamal threads. As fans, audience, kaila kedaikkura ovvoru bit news um vechi, credits ai evvalavu deep aa pirikka mudiyumO, avvalavu clean aa pirichi koduthirukkom. But in this case, ivanga kitta, enga nermaiyai kaattura alavu worth illai. KamalE sonnaupram enna pechu vendi kidakku" nnu solravanga kitta ennatha pesa mudiyum?!? :huh:

Naan solrathai kekkura levella app_engine illai! So let me put it this way! After some point, whatever movies SB and Singheetham made without kamal, most of them actually had some influences fromthe kamal ones! Though not strictly limited to the movies where they did combo, but non-combo movies too! Egampul for SB already given. For Singheetham, that Jyothika movie where hero will become miniature!
