Agree that director should take the blame for the scene that ajay highlighted..Walking, mannerism ellam directoroda vellai..only expression is a gift

Eli trailer paarthingalaa bro. Sattila iruntha thaan agappayila varum. Njabagam vaichhkonga

Tamanna cant act - simple. Just like Prashant who worked with Balu Mahendra, Maniratnam, Shankar etc. You cant blame the directors.

You can blame the directors and Shankar and Mani are not known for getting the best out of an actor

1. Actors who perform well irrespective of the script and director - Kamal haasan, Mohan Lal etc

2. Actors who perform under good scripts and directors - Ajith, Vijay, Surya etc

3. Actors who cant perform no matter what under any director, proving that acting is a skill on its own - Prashant, Tamanna.

contradicting views..good scripts demand and will get good acting not good directors.

1. Mani got one of the best out of Kamal, Mohan Lal,, Rajni

2. Kamal and Mohan Lal perform well irrespective of director.

Now there is something called - good, better and best in grammar.

1. Bradman played well under all conditions.

2. Bradman played his best knocks against England.

point taken. but still don't agree on the factuality of the statement. numerous actors have said in interviews that mani does the natural rendition of the actors essaying the scenes but he never demands and shows how to deliver stuff unlike someone like bala/shankar. so point is, when good actors do their best it comes out best and bad actors do bad it comes out horrible. proof is all movies post ayutha eluthu..

One doesn't have to show to extract performance! Acting is not imitation or mimicry...

Straight forward ... better director can get better out of an actor even if its an average actor. Eg. Mohan in Mouna Raagam - Never have seen a better movie of Mohan.

Jeethu got the best out of Kamal and ML in Drishyam/Papanasam than probably somebody else in his place.

Reverse is true as well .. Average/Bad director can mess up a good actor's movie as well. But again a good actor in that combo would still be better than a average actor. There're examples of older Kamal movies which were bad because of an average director.
