Top 10 Versatile Actors

[equanimus]

Two things:
1. I don't think Vikram dubbed for Prabhu Deva in 'minsArak kanavu.' I'm quite sure it was Prabhu Deva's voice. Venkiraja is perhaps confusing with 'kAdhalan.'

Mixed. Some parts PD some parrts Vikram

unga kooda pEsaNumnAlE dictionary vachikkaNum pOla irukkE : Vikram voice

Annai indira: PD voice

IIRC of course

Oh, indha matter theriyAdhE enakku. A good piece of trivia.

Venki,

Pls do the honors :P

NeengaLum Surya Hater-A? There is a long list of 'sothai' and 'weak' performances from him. We can easily observe the contrast between Daniel Balaji and Surya in Kaaka Kaaka's final moments. Mayavi is a prime example of Surya's unimpressive slog. His commercial features show how pathetic he is Aaru(Songs esp. Paakadhe could have been better even with a expression-less J.Ravi) Vel(Both roles are plain His sheshtaigal in 1000 jannal veedu). Interview-la kooda he 'tries hard'. Karthi is much better- Looks wise as well.

I'm not a Surya hater. And one of my favorite Surya performances is Mayaavi Just that I sometimes feel he is given too much credit. Certainly a good actor

indha chennai poNNunga ellArumE Surya fans pOla... ivaLunga avankitta ennatha kaNdAingannE therla... Everyone are crazy about him. erichalA varum. adhula pArunga, ellArOda Caller tune/ ringtone ellAmE Munbe va thaan.

Kadaisila unnoda kovatthukku kaaranam idhaana JK :P

I mean. Vikram qualifies into the grand pool of 'Versatile actors' very broadly. Surya ellAm "sellAdhu.. sellAdhu" Deposit-E pOyirum case.

Surya versatile illai enRal definition-il pizhai. Thread-ai moodiralaam.

See. The ones where he had to 'emote', he had to use dubbing: Dictionary. And, I'm confused about Annai Indira scene.. AIDS distribution sounds like Vikram... and then immediately Kaal paadhi Body paadhi... oooo seems PD. Someone clarify...
P.S: Milestones like Alaavudheen, Love birds, etc. should also be taken into account.

I'd like to make a point here
Preparedness is not that bad a word as Hubbers seem to be insinuating here.

Surya slips ofcourse showing the effort- most notably in Ghajni but that shouldnt take away from versatility. versatility != spontaneity
I think we should judge Surya-Madhavan without taking into account 'natural acting' and 'spontaneity factor'.
Just saying.

adhethan.

the efforts put into versatility takes a toll on spontaneity...is also an issue.

to do a role which is not within ur horizon and also with spontaneity....is difficult.most of the actors who have maintained the spontaneity in their charecters have not been versatile.

two different dimentions.

Vikki,
Not only that, this whole always "natural", "spontaneous", "never tries" thing is a myth

[viraajan]

Surya is definitely a versatile actor. There is no doubt about it.

LM, the way he dances for "megam karukkudhu" What a ferfarmance

[Sarna]

yArAvadhu Perazhagan Surya (The Boxer), Kaaka Kaaka (Very bad acting except a few sequences... ex: The scene where he screams with the plasters, glucose bottles), SOK (with Bhumika after return/ scenes in the rain/last fifteen mins with Jyo) kalaaichu udungapA... ivan imsai thAnga mudiyala...

Purila, enna solla vareenga?

Vikram... versatility ... sellavE selaadhu

Lion's share. I didn't like Surya. And then I had to change it to I hate Surya.

[Shakthiprabha]

I have a strong feeling, most of us rate artists, for any given criteria, based on our individual likes n dislikes for the aritst. Then the whole discussoin would fissle out in usual way.

He brought the roof down in that scene. Sema applause theatre-la. That too in Bangalore
