Indians – Veerapandiakattabomman
Veerapandia Katta Bomman is one such hero from the southern region of Tamilnadu who lived in 18th century - every kid who grew up in the Tamil nadu was influenced by these inspiring stories of him. While the Government of India recognized him (there was even a postal stamp released by them), I felt the regionalVeerapandiya_Kattabomman_postage_stamp movie by his name really brought in the impact on many - I still remember the dialogues of this movie Veerapandiya Kattabomman, a movie from 1959 - this movie had Chevalier Sivaji Ganesan playing the lead role. Sivaji did such a great job on this that for me, it is still his face which comes across when I think of Kattabomman. This movie was also notable for being the second Tamil film to be shot in Technicolor and which was printed in London. This movie ran 100 days in 28 theatres in those days, which is a record breaker.

Malayalam actor Mammootty, eulogising the legendary Thespian, says that, 'for Sivaji, his immense range alone is enough'.
