PR, for instance, he did a guest role in hindi version of paasamalar. This is not covered in 10 other lang guest role films. So I'm not too sure about the order or the complete veracity of that list.
And pillalu thechina is the telugu dubbing of the kannada movie of which kuzhandhaigl kanda is the tamil dubbing. It's like counting Thalapathi thrice for Rajni, one each for the tamil, telugu and Hindi versions!

Oh, I guess it's because you don't get to hear the worst of Hindi film music as much as that of Tamil film music! An ordinary low-profile film having a good song or two is very common in Tamil cinema. I don't think the same can be said of Hindi film music at all. Mithoons and Amit Trivedis are still offbeat as far as Hindi cinema goes. And look what the composers down south do in the thick of mainstream! Significant difference.Quote:

The reason, as PR contended, is that they wouldn't want to! (Yes, I'm indeed picking on the mention of paruththivIran. :)) But seriously, this is carrying the nativity deal too far without ever wondering whether what we see in our films is authentic. People often don't seem to realise that a filmmaker like Ameer doesn't hail from a village (in fact, I'm willing to stick my neck out and conjecture that the only time he'd been to that village we see in the film is when he shot it!) when they make statements along the lines of "only a director like Ameer could have made such a film." And Sasikumar studied at a boarding school!Quote:

Well, equa, what if I contend that Ammer/Sasikumar can make a JTYJN but "they wouldnt want to". There is a besant nagar populace that can be tapped right, like the South Mumbai genre in Hindi? But it it too miniscule to bet a movie on so why would boarding school educated Sasikumar make a movie of that sort, or even a Rockford?
The answer lies with your post - why does a boarding school educated director feel it safe to tap his rural roots, howsoever feeble roots?
What I find annoying is hiding away hindiwallahs' limitations under "why would they do it?" while simultaneously accusing tamilkaarans of "not being capable of what they havent attempted, lack of evidence be damned".
