Top 10 Versatile Actors

A_E, with due respect, what people outside hubbers think is immaterial to hubbers. If we have to go by bias, we'd rather go by hubbers' bias than non-hubbers'. This could be my own TO

Very true!

In that area, he was definitely much more versatile than some phenomenally successful current MDs :-)

End-digression

A_E,
You are confusing and mixing up things, i'm afraid.

Firstly, this is just a time-pass discussion on who we (that is, I, as an individual) think are the versatile actors of this generation, leaving the oldies aside. If someone asks you, who is your favorite musician or who has done the broadest body of work, do you go and conduct a survey or check audio sales?

Secondly,
Versatility = doing different things successfully, as against not doing different things or doing different things but unsuccessfully. Period. Thats all there is to it. Simple

Well, if song and dance are to be included, fine, by all means. However, we fail to see what collections has anything to do with what we are discussing. Even as an indicator, your definition baffles me!
Maybe you can coin a new word to include your definition. Versatility enna paavam pannichu? :)

And each of this "variety" should have been enjoyed by people of all walks of life.

Otherwise, we can definitely call some a "great actor" but not necessarily "versatile" one, IMPTO. (i.e. possibly twisted opinion)

Was going through all the posts in this topic and thght naamalum kuttaya kozhapuvomnu

Surya -i believe he still has lots to learn-total masala appadinaa he cant act
Aaru,Vel-rendume sothappal
Someone said hes done a gr8 job in Ayan -honestaa niraya Vijay Saayal therinjuthu and romba fakeaavum irunthuchu
Varanam aayiram-Appa character FLOPu
Son character was strictly Ok
Ghajini -looked extremely handsome as Sanjay Ramaswamy but thats it
Mounam Pesiyadhe-was good
Khaaka Khaaka -again looked stylish but will that count as 'versatile' I dont think so!!!
Chinna -was really good

So Surya versatilaa appadinaa i would say no
On a relative scale i can accept Vikram except that he cant act in a comic role

Current generationla versatile appadinu yaarume illa but everyones trying their bit
