Which film?

Dear Mohan & friends,
I am happy that the Life History of NT is going to be telecast on Kalaignar TV. I will be happy if it is telecast on any channel. But I have my own apprehensions. When presenting the Life History of NT, some segments, if presented without bias, will definitely rise some ripples. Therefore, I dont know how far it will present the true picture of the life history. Because his life does not contain to cinema, but politics, too. If it does not cover politics, it will not be a full history. If it covers politics, it will be a true picture but some people will not allow such facts to be shown on air. And particularly I feel his life history should be shown only on a neutral channel which does not have any constraints. At the present scenario, you can not find any such channel.
Considering the above facts, I personally feel that, unless telecast without any bias, and without any censoring, NT's life history will not represent his real life on any of the channels.
Raghavendran.

Dear friends,
For those of you who have not seen the film Thuli Visham, Moser Baer has brought it out in VCD format. May be soon in DVD. Since this is not a popular film, the copies may be restricted. Please grab a copy and you will be in possession of a rare performance from NT. Almost after nearly 35 years, I saw this film now. And my earlier review stands with status quo. The story line is very thin and it is a duel between KRR's character and NT's. NT appears as Karpaga Nattu Mannan and Krishna Kumari as heroine as given a good performance. Of course the film would be dragging for a while. But you can see a stylish NT in this film, as a negative character. His sword style is a treat for eyes, his glance in turns, his majestic steps, postures would all make the otherwise boring film, a watchable movie. And the famous Bharathanatya legend K.N. Dhandayudhapani Pillai has composed music besides Choreography. One song is missing from the VCD (Ullam Thedadhe endru sonnadhu, which is widely mentioned as featuring in Edhaiyum Thangum Idhayam). All the songs are oriented towards Bharathanatya incl. BGM (may be because composed by Bharathanatya legend).
Raghavendran.

This mini interview is from today's Hindu - Cinema Plus

Grill mill - Y.G. Mahendra

Why aren’t you seen much in films these days?

So what? I’m always visible in one medium or the other. I’ve so far done more than 250 movies, nearly 6,000 stage performances and more than 35 TV serials. Right now, I’m acting in Seval, Pandhayam, Kandaswamy and Sahaptham and three more untitled films.

Why don’t you act in Kamal or Rajinikanth movies?

Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth are my true friends. They will never underestimate my talent. I will act with them only if the role is good, like I had done in the past.

Why aren’t your plays made into films these days?

Today’s movie makers are more interested in items than a good storyline, which is why good dramas are not made into films. But my recent play “Swadeshi Aiyar” is to be picturised soon by a corporate producer.

Is comedy the mainstay of films today?

Comedy has always been a plus point for Tamil films. But according to my guru Nagesh, there are two types of comedians — those whose TIME is good and those whose TIMING is good. I hope I belong to the second category.

There are several awards for stage productions but not as many for films. Why?

I have won many awards for my stage performances, but then I have also received ‘Kalaimamani’ and ‘Kalaivanar Virudhu’ from the Tamil Nadu Government and several from private organisations. Even a ‘Nandi’ award from the Government of Andhra Pradesh. But the biggest awardis the applause I get from my audience even today.

You directed a film (Kathai Kathaiyam Karanamam), but stopped with it…

Though I have directed several successful serials, I did just one film. Soon I plan to direct a significant film.

At the end of the day what would you like to be called — a stage, TV or cinema actor?

I am an all-rounder having done classic roles on stage, TV and in films. But I would be happy if I am called a complete actor and a die hard Sivaji Ganesan fan.
