Difference between south stars and Bollywood is that the south actors seem so normal and there is never any pretense about them.

The stark difference between Bollywood sky reaching attitude and south actors being polite and humble, infact you can see in their body language as well ,

@@ReluctantSpirit been watching Vikram for 20 years, I'm still waiting to get bored or over him. Same with Kamal Hassan and Rajnikanth. Inspite their immense talents and super stardom, they have remained humble and soft spoken all these years. Rajni-kamal duo since the 70s and Vikram since the 90s. The same attitude, tone of voice and behaviour during interviews, when addressing the public etc. These 3 actors are just a small example of a sea of other massively talented kollywood (Tamil movie industry) actors who has remained humble and grounded inspite decades of stardom and star power. Of course there are one or two arrogant ones with bad attitude. Best contemporary example is the formerly most successful Tamil industry comedian Vadivelu (the Tamil industry superstar Rajnikanth requested the director of the movie chandramukhi to specifically cast him for that movie..he was in such high demand at one time) but his sheer arrogance and attitude caused his downfall and he was ultimately blacklisted by the producers council from acting.

Here is the Secret why south Indian stars are much loved by their fans and why they are polite to their fans.. First they represent us in any matter of disorder in the states be it flood in chennai , protecting our languages, border issue with other states , river Water issue, farmer issue , and many social causes, non advertisement of intoxicants or pan , they celebrate our folk culture....obviously we feel they are one of us ..secondly they will maintain their public conduct so cordially with their fans so much so that no public smoking or under the influence of alcohol or drugs..thirdly and most importantly their personal life, I mean their closed bonding with their family, wife (hardly there are divorces) , children's....it's quite normal we look up to them how our conduct has to be and the role we should play in our family....best examples we can site here are chiranjeevi, rajanikanth, rajkumar family, mohanlal and the list goes on on..

Trisha is so gorgeous ❤️😊

The way anupama as a interviewer brings out the point of views of everyone , never misses on anyone and what a fascinating discussion with so much subject....The interviewer is a gem❤️

It's a delight to see each of the cast members get their space to voice their thoughts and share such interesting experiences. Anupama always does a good job drawing them out. And they don't make it all about themselves and run away with it. Here's hoping PS-1 becomes a success. Vikram brought Aditya Karikalan to life and made me want to read the book.

@Finnola

Жыл бұрын

Actors in tamil or malayalam or anywhere else respect craft and is proficient in not only their job but being informed of what the story is and how to fill in somebody's shoes so to speak. Everyone started as character actors before becoming superstar, in tamil cinema Rajnikanth knows how to reinvent and be part of effective storytelling despite doing the same thing(superstar image) and having the burden of carrying the film on his shoulders. On the other end of spectrum Kamal hassan with his encyclopedia knowledge of cinema. When focus is truly on serving the craft from every actor then naturally respect and bonding follows. In bollywood that's lacking from years ago till now because it's competition and treating films like popularity contest.

They are so polite even to each other when answering questions, I love them🥰

A great example of a good movie interview - talked about movies throughout, the outcome being that the audience came out of the video learning a thing or two - specifically about the movie and generally about the craft. Also inspiring to observe how each of the actors has a strong personality and a view of their own - they all have a sense of the story and their contribution to the movie. They aren't just repeating some statements generated by PR experts. Thank You to Anupama ma'am for the wonderful questions and moderation, and to the leads for sharing their honest thoughts and experiences. Splendid!

Ponniyin Selvan is just a glimpse of Tamil literature(Modern). When people read or watch in a movie in future (my wish) of some gems like Silapathikaram(ancient) to VelPari (Modern) then they know how certain authors are well-versed in blending History into words. I think Ponniyin Selvan success will share some more light to many literary works. Asuran is an adoption of a Novel which becomes great success with non native audiences. And it's best opportunity for Tamil directors to explore this genre of movies
