Which actor got benefited maximum out of IR

[S.Balaji]

Wish to initiate discussion on this.

Those come to my mind immediately are :

1. Mohan
2. Sivakumar
3. Ramarajan


The list may be endless. Lets start this.

[Sanjeevi]

I think

1) Kamal
2) Rajini
3) Mohan
4) Ramarajan
5) Sivakumar, Karthik, Prabu, Sathiyaraj, Vijayakanth
6) Vijay
7) Vikram, Surya

[S.Balaji]

For instance - Sivakumar

Annakilli
Badrakali
Kavikuyil
Chittukurivi
Rosappu ravikkaikaari
Mudhal iravu
Unnai naan sandhithen
Naan paadum paadal

My God . The list is endless. Probably Sivakumar got maximum benefitted out of IR.

May be some of the above would not have been super hits but we remember those movies through IR only.

[Sanjeevi]

Balaji, I think you are watching maily Sivakumar films only?

For instance - Sivakumar

Annakilli
Badrakali
Kavikuyil
Chittukurivi
Rosappu ravikkaikaari
Mudhal iravu
Unnai naan sandhithen
Naan paadum paadal

My God . The list is endless. Probably Sivakumar got maximum benefitted out of IR.

May be some of the above would not have been super hits but we remember those movies through IR only.

I think this question can be best answered only if we consider how far the actor would have got WITHOUT the music of IR.
In that case you would have to ignore kamal and rajni cos they are still great actors.
And in that case I think that MOHAN will top the list without doubt!
Another name that comes to mind is Murali.
I think Sivakumar is a better actor than both of them, though he also benefited a lot frmo IRs music.

Ananth,

You had hit the bull's eye. Yes, RK and KH are out of this list as they have been successful even otherwise. Probably Sivakumar also can be ejected but Mohan, Murali, Ramarajan, Rajkiran are all in the permanent list

[rajasaranam]

you can also eliminate
Mohan, murali and Rajkiran
Mohan for his excellent facial expressions while singing the songs. it was amazing and he emotes well making us belive he is the real singer behind that mike.
Murali- has proved that apart from music he has some talent in acting too.
Rajkiran-has brilliant directorial/acting skills
hmmmm. the person left is
Ramarajan - yuk no expression, comes with 'hapdouser' with full of lipstick and 'kanmai', no acting skills. he was a zerooooooooooo yet managed upto becoming no.2, because of IR's music only....

I can imagin MOHAN with out IR, but not with out SN Surendar. See what happened to Mohan after he split up with SNS. Anyways more than these actors, we benefitted a lot from IR songs.
