During that time, Kamal was purely having "lover boy" image and that suits that role.. in fact Rajni would have suited best for "Sharath Babu's role, in hindi orginal it was done by satrugan sinaa

I was watching the song where he accuses Sarathbabu of going from friendship to betrayal.
Very ordinary acting. Nothing great to execute there but you can see he is kinda out of depth. I felt this way about many such performances.

That might be due to his lack of interest on such roles. It doesnt mean that he is lesser than Rajni for such roles.

Are you talking about potential or performance ?

P_R, when you accuse Sarathbabu of betrayal, you shouldn't be emotional about it. The feller has been doing that for decades.

if it was me my line would go like this, "Let's grab lunch on the way. By the by, you betrayed me, you are lousy friend, just for a cat (replace this with another word of same meaning). Wanna drop by Pizza Hut or McDonalds?"

Athukellam remba nadikka thevai illa.

On the accusation that he was trying to be cool in the 80s, he was* dammit! And that's why those films were successful!

*edit. Correction, he still is. Watch UPO (sorry Bala).

Performance dhaan. But then potential also for such roles given he was extremely sincere in executing them.

I don't think it is lack of interest CR. In fact, as I mentioned quoting the interview to Gnani, Kamal said he never took his masala roles/movies flippantly. He was very earnest about them and how he performed.

You can see some signature Kamal moments in them too. Slapsticky chaplinesque fumbles, dances (which everyone except NOV likes!), pacy and innovative fights (enough people don't mention how Kamal is heads and shoulders above Rajini in this- idhukkE oru katturai ezhudhaNum). But in the 'regular' scenes I feel Kamal is not that impressive. Some expressions looks very studied as opposed to how fluently Rajini would have been.

I think you are feeling this way because you have seen a better / matured form of Kamal's acting prior to watching these kind of masala roles.
