Actor Sivaji Ganesan is hailed as an all-time great example of acting in Tamil cinema. There was a reputation then that films starring Sivaji Ganesan were mostly blockbusters.
Sivaji and MGR were the first to start the competition between actors in Tamil cinema and they started releasing films in their respective eras.
Shivaji
Even after their departure, that rivalry still exists in cinema. Why everyone says that Sivaji Ganesan is an actor and an example of acting, then it can be said that no one has seen a person who has given a performance like Sivaji Ganesan in Tamil cinema till now.
Actor Sivaji Ganesan is world famous for this. In this situation, journalist Cheyaru Balu has said many interesting things about Sivaji Ganesan in an interview. I have heard many people say that Sivaji Ganesan’s acting is overacting when he says that.
But Shivaji knew how to do all kinds of acting and he knew what kind of acting people wanted when he acted in plays. The performance was well received during the period in which he acted.
Last days of pity
But that is not the only way Sivaji Ganesan will act. Sivaji Ganesan is such a talented person that he can act no matter how he is asked to act. A question was asked as to why Sivaji Ganesan did not act as a hero even after sixty years like Rajini Kamal does now.
Shivaji Ganesan was in poor health when he replied to that. After that his body weight also decreased significantly. He knew that he could no longer act as a hero at this stage.
Moreover, after a certain point, his family said that he should not act in cinema at all. Even during the shooting of Devar Magan, Sivaji’s family did not agree to act.
In his old age the lord did not notice
But it was Kamal Haasan who said that it would be good only if Sivaji Ganesan acted in the film, and Sivaji Ganesan was interested in acting till the final stage.
But his body didn’t agree. His last days were the worst for him while some say that Prabhu did not take good care of Shivaji in his last days. But there is no truth in that.
Seiyaru Balu has shared this information that Shivaji Ganesan was well taken care of at his home till his last days.
