Answer 8

Nagesh, a veteran comedy actor of Tamil Film industry. Even when the charismatic MGR and versatile Sivaji were ruling the roost, the lithe and not so attractive Nagesh managed to attract the crowds to movie houses. Even today the name evokes a mixed response in the minds of Tamil filmgoers, not just as a comedian who had them rolling in the aisles, but also as a character artiste who moved them to tears with his sensitive performance in films like 'Neer Kumizhi' and 'Edhir Neechal'.


It was producer Balaji who spotted him and gave him his first break in films. The most memorable performance of Nagesh out of the 1000 odd films he has acted in is his role in 'Thiruvillayadal' in which he speaks a soliloquy that is one of the most memorable scenes in the film. He played a poet falling on bad times in the film. When Sivaji who played Siva in the film saw it he asked the director to retain it in full without a cut.

Directors like Sridhar and Balachander were those who brought out the acting talents of Nagesh. In 'Kathalika Neramillai' Nagesh narrates a story to Baliah and the way it was narrated brought down the theatre in laughter. In 'Apoorva Raagangal' he plays a drunkard who talks to his shadow and then finishes his dialogue by saying 'Cheers' and throwing the cup on the wall. In the theatres where the film was shown the audience imitated him and threw cups on the wall of the lobby during interval. Yet another memorable performance was as the villianous comic pimp in 'Thillana Mohannambal' starring Sivaji and Padmini. More recently he played a dead man in 'Magalir Mattum' produced by Kamalhassan and the scenes involving Nagesh were hilarious. A perfect accolade that he received was that from kamal hassan.Kamal hassan used to say that he was very much selfish about Nagesh.The main reason being when he kamal hassan used to work with Balachander,at instances when he found it diffcult to bring the emotions in front of the screen,KB used to say "had this scene done by Nagesh he would have done this in the first shot".This lets us know what a great actor nagesh has been. Also once Balachander used to say that,Nagesh and himself were driving very fast in the Radhakrishnan salai(Those days it was not that busy as it is now),when KB asked him why are you driving so very fast,for which Nagesh replied "Dont get scared!,I know i have the responsibility that i am holding the life of one of the India's great future directors"
