Awesome gunachitra nadigar Love his way of acting.... all different types of roles ....
From: bingleguy on Tue Aug 22 1:19:34 2006.

SV Ranga Rao acts in both Thamizh and Telugu movies ... he is known for his height, expressions, voice and all the more his various faces

His Maayabazaar is a very good example !

Many movies like Bale Pandiya, Enga veetu pillai, Pachai Vilakku, some good telugu hits ...n much more ... he has really given good delivery

he also acted in bhaktha prahalada i believe

Awesome performance
From: bingleguy on Mon Sep 4 0:40:40 2006.

SV Sahasranamam ...

A wonderful actor when it comes to emotions and father or brother character roles ... mostly he has performed supporting roles ....

Even MGR's brother MG Chakrapani has acted in some movies ...

Also we forgot to mention VK Ramasamy ... he also did commendable performances in Veerapandiya Kattabomman, Pattanathil bootham, Pudiya Paravai etc .....

Actor/Producer Balaji also has performed many supporting roles like in Bale Pandiya, the film from which the song pon ondru kanden penn angu illai ... with Sivaji ....
he is also a brilliant performer ......

i forgot the person who acted as Balaji's father in Pattanathil bootham .....

From: bingleguy on Mon Sep 4 1:25:22 2006.

not sure !

thanks tfmlover ... i used to watch oldies though not many, but ive watched many famous mobvies ......

i forgot to mention ........ AVM Rajan though he was later rated as a good hero ..... his performance in movies like thillana mohanaambal and some movie where he acts like a pujari and loses his eye n all ..... and gains it after shakthi gives him ....

Also Thangavelu is at his best an awesome n brilliant comedian ..... his wife (not sure of her name) is also an actress who used to share his wife role even on the scene .... movies like kalyana parisu, then nilavu are some of their combination movies .....

Kalyana parisu is worth mentioning anywhere ... particularly that Mannar & Co. is i believe being used till date ....
