Tension 'lAm illai, Plum/Maddy. :)
Ok, now I think I understand what you're trying to say. Again the sort of suaveness and sophistication that was under discussion today seems to override everything else in your view in determining if a character is "urban." Which are the rural roles in which Surya was good? I can't think of any besides 'pithAmagan' (and I doubt if you've any recommendations either). Is Dhanush an urban actor or not? What about Vijay?Quote:

rural roles- he was good in that hunchback movie- which one is that? :oops: ....he was good in college scnes in SOK - small town engg student, vera :roll: cant think...
yes plum, Vel was not as bad as ghasini in my books
Interesting sidenote.Quote:

But that's besides what we're discussing now.) But if we're talking about characters from the rural milieu, I seriously don't understand how a Bharath or Surya plays them better than the urban roles.Quote:

Hence, we have city-bred Barath struggling to do a JWM but he excelled as small town mechanic Murugan or the angry young baai in Veyyil, not to mention the mute slumdaak in Fattiyal.
[Bollywood hero tapori character pannanum na i don't think it will come that easily to them but inga namma aatkal oru Chennai local a panradhu relatively easier]
Western influence has permeated deeper and wider there than it has here.
Barath ku solradhu almost ella current heroes kum porundhum with the exception of Ajith/Madhavan perhaps(?) aana avinga inga valarndhavanga illiye.
Maddy, idha thaan neenga solreenga nu nenaikkaren aana i think you are using "rural" in place of "small town" or "local".
However, Pithamagan couldn't have been "natural" for Suriya illeengala? In terms of locale and also because he was an actor who had till then been a non-actor with inhibitions. Adhu oru break-free role.
In fact, because Michael's character was rather quiet, even though it was polished, it would have been more comfortable to him (?), notwithstanding the slight Kongu Thamizh he speaks in real life(he doesnt speak Chennai Thamizh)... Well, we just speculate, avinga valarndha vidham, friends cirkuzh etc... idhellam irukkulla....
