Being a new-born Prabhu fan, I am indeed astonished to learn of his achievement in '88. As requested earlier, I hope you can share with us on what actually brought Prabhu to the industry. In our Gtalk, you mentioned that it was NT's brother who brought him in.
And also, later part what was NTs own take on his son's talent. (I am aware of NT's remark on his son's weight and the horse :lol: )
Dear friends,
Oru vazhiya ingeyum vandhuttanya, endru ennai sabippeergal endru neengal aluthukolvadhu purigiradhu. Enna Seyya? Vidhi Yaarai vittadhu?
Just for joke. It's nice to have a thread for Prabhu. In fact when he entered the film world, and claimed to be a MGR fan, there was very big disappointment from NT fans, and the reaction was very wild in Madurai district (Murali Sir will know how). In fact, our set of people went to the shooting spot of Sumangali and argued with him. That was the past history.
After almost 26 years he has stood the test of time and as NT would say, he has stood on his own legs. After so much experience, he has now learnt the art of acting and knows the strains and pains his father suffered and sacrifices made by NT. He has matured himself to be a good actor and proved he could don any role with ease.
Coming to films, one of my favourites is CHINNANCHIRUSUGAL with Mohan. One particular scene was the disclosing of secrets one by one by Mohan and Sulakshana (inspired by Nilavanam). He would have simply excelled in this scene. This film was a commerciallay successful one. And another is the film Pudhiya Sangamam, though this film was a flop due to weak screenplay, his performance was noteworthy. Same applies to Lottery Ticket. Later on his performance matured and he moulded himself.
Raghavendran.
Chandamukhi la avar ore scenela rajiniya overshadow pandradhu than avaroda acting la highlightnu sollalam
Ragavendra sir, your views and postings are more than welcomed here. When entering the film industry when MGR was the chief minister, claiming you are his fan is a plus point. Plus, Prabhu really is an MGR fan. I am sure his dad did not object to that. Interesting to note that fans argued with him at a shooting spot!
The lists to which you added are interesting. Some films I have never even heard of. Time to search for the films.
OnMyWay, are you referring to Enna Kodumai scene? I felt both Prabhu and Rajini looked unenthusiastic in that film. The energy is missing. Plus the whole film is not exactly about them. And the Enna Kodumai scene has unintentionally become funny. Watch how Ajith mocks it in front of him in Billa.
Actually, I was being sarcastic there..20 yrs a hero va irundhavara ore scene la comedian aakidutchu. Actually,if he reduces his bulk he still looks pretty good but i guess he never had that kinda motivation.. I was always under the impression Karthik and Prabhu pretty had parallel careers with similar kinda box office appeal.Could someone speak more about it. Werent chinna thambi and sentamil pattu his biggest hits?
Actually there was an article in Hindu on new year's eve about top actors of the year.It was Rajini followed by Prabhu and Vijaykanth in second spot that year.
Rakesh,
Will do it. Right now a bit busy. You know what (the next song).
Raghavendar Sir,
I was wondering about the movie name and you came out with that. Yes , I am talking about Chinnansirusgal. If I remember correctly, both Prabhu and Mohan's screen name in the film would be Mohan and that would create the confusion, right? Was it not Rama.Narayanan who directed the movie? It came in 1982 end, right?
Regards
In Maniratnam films:
karthik - Mounaragam (guest role)
prabhu - Anjali (guest role)
karthik & prabhu - hero's in Agninatchathiram
---------------
Personally I feel that, in most of the dual roles he did, the other actor had a better character / advanage over prabhu's role
eg: Agni natchathiram, chinnathambi periya thambi, vetri vizha, guru sishyan,
not yet seen "kalaiyum neeye malaiyum neeye" (Vijayakanth + Prabhu)
but there is a film by R V udhayakumar (i think his first) - urimaigeetham ... both Prabhu had a better character
film by R V udhayakumar (i think his first) - urimaigeetham ... both Prabhu had a better character than karthik
Chinna thambi was a big blockbuster - I believe. My brother who is a fan of Sivaji and Prabu told me that it broke 40 year record at that time.
