Nadigar Thilagam Sivaji Ganesan Part 10

[rangan_08]

Here's another scene from Vasantha Maligai...a very short scene but what a performance...

Vanishree is being accused of stealing a jewellery piece, by Balaji & team. She is being humiliated in public when NT enters furiously and relieves her from the crowd.

Now, he gently picks up her hand..listen to her patiently...and casually walk towards the car along with her. The way he lifts up his head, his body language everything is just world class performance in that scene.

He could well have reacted hastily or could have tried to be more emotional while consoling her...but he maintains his cool in that scene because at the back of his mind he's got that iota of doubt about her stealing the jewel which finally...when they reach the car...comes out as simple at the same time harsh words of accusation.

Brilliant piece of acting.

elated to see our NT's avtars when he reigned as the emperor of our tamil cinema when his immortal anniversary nears. Thillana Mohanambal's Nadhaswaram close-up and Gowravam's Baristar close up.. would have added more salt and pepper. I want to confirm whether our Karnan is continuing towards its silver jubilee? Please upload this weeks advt.

Senthil,

Karnan is running only in Sathyam now and Sunday was last show in Escape, hope Karnan will run for 150 days in Sathyam.

Cheers,
Sathish

Here are excerpts from Ganesan’s reminiscences of his lucky break:

“I am not very sure of the day of the week, but I know I was born on October 1, 1928.” said he. That day was a Monday, and on that day his father Chinnaiya mandrayar was arrested for taking part in an anti-British campaign in Villupuram. This autobiography of Villupuram Chinnaiya Ganesa Moorthy (Ganesa Moorthy was his original name) first appeared in Tamil on Oct.1, 2002, on the first posthumous birthday of Sivaji. It consists of a question and answer format. The questions were formulated by Dr. T.S. Narayana Swamy, and Sivaji provides reminiscences of his notable life



“Anna wrote the play Sivaji kanda Hindu Rajyam. Originally, M.G. Ramachandran was chosen to play the role of Sivaji and the costumes tailored for him. For some reason MGR turned down the offer. With hardly a week left for the play, D.V. Narayanaswamy, the stage manager, was extremely worried. He told Anna that MGR had refused to act this role. Both had a brainstorming session to find alternatives…Anna thought a beard would look good on me. He put the question to me very directly. ‘Ganesa, are you willing to act as Sivaji?’ I perspired profusely at this question…Anna asked me to try it out. Moreover he had the confidence that I could do it. He handed me a 90 page dialogue manuscript and adviced me to go through it. He was going home and on his return would audition me for the role. Anna gave me the manuscript at eleven in the morning and he came back around six in the evening…I managed to memorise so much in merely seven hours. ‘You are Sivaji’, he announced, his voice choking with emotion. If I could memorise a 90 page manuscript in a relatively short time, it was only because of my passion for acting, you could even call it addiction…There were only four days left for the play to be staged and all the costumes tailored for MGR had to be downsized to suit me. They had to pad cotton in some places to correct the size difference as I was a mere boy and was slightly built at that time.”

“The film Parasakti was released in 1952 and I got married the same year…My mother decided that it was time for me to tie the knot and arranged to get me married to my cousin’s daughter Kamala…The simplicity of the wedding made it a revolutionary ceremony. I was married on May 1st 1952 at Swamimalai, a place close to my cousin’s house. Sri P.A. Perumal, annan MGR, Sri Karunanidhi, the poet Kannadasan, Smt. T.A. Maduram, Sri. S.V. Sahasranamam, along with directors Krishnan and Panju attended my wedding…Nowadays much emphasis is placed on celebrating weddings extravagantly with glitz and glamour. My wedding was devoid of that and my total expenditure was only five hundred rupees! I confess that I did not have the means to spend more.”

My wife was well trained by my mother. Whoever earns more his wife must adjust , In my case my wife adjusted , very well
