ஐ - Shankar + Vikram + Amy Jackson + ARR

[Bipolar]

.

...Bringing out talent of others is the big talent and Shankar has that..he knows majority audience taste and makes movie accordingly...

Okay, partly agree here - it's a kind of talent - so basically Shankar has "marketing" talent, but not "film-making" talent...

...In between gentleman and mudhalvan what are the hit movies for Arjun?

Well, he made films like "Karna", "Sengottai", "Ayudha Poojai", "Sadhu", etc., which did reasonably well at the box office...

...Even the very talented artist like Vikram rely on Shankar for hits..between Anniyan and "I" what are the hits for vikram..all utter flops like bheema,majaa,rajapattai...

Vikram was making hits before Anniyan - "Sethu", "Dhool", "Gemini", "Pithamagan", etc. "Bheema" and "Majaa" were not flops...

His first movie was "gentleman". So, the greatest talent he used was "ARJUN"!

You are hilarious!

"Gentleman" - 1993 - was a superhit mainly because of the music/songs - especially "Chikku Bukku Railu" - and the phenomenal dancing by Prabhu Deva in the song video. So credit should go to ARR and PD

"Kaadhalan" - 1994 - again, a hit because of the music/songs, but silly story - so again, film was successful because of the talents of ARR and PD

"Indhiyan" - 1996 - songs, and acting by KH, especially the "Senapathi" character - with the make-up effects, etc.

"Jeans" - 1998 - songs, Aishwarya Rai, locations ("Seven wonders of the world" song concept) - but silly story.

"Mudhalvan" - 1999 - okay, this one was a slightly different story from the usual stuff seen in Kollywood (but still a silly story, really), but maybe this is one film where Shankar can take credit for a "new idea"...

"Boys" - 2003 - Again, a hit film because of the songs...

"Shivaji", "Enthiran" - hit because of RK's "star value"...

So basically almost all of his successful films were successful because of other people's efforts, not because of any film-making talent on Shankar's part...
