As if the Tamil movies themselves didn’t have enough humor content within them, it starts right from the first card even as the actors are introduced, just after the title card.
I am not sure if actors in any other “wood”s are bestowed upon with these honorable titles, which when taken literally are nothing but pure unadulterated fun. Me being neither a film historian, nor even an avid film buff, could only recollect a few names, but it was more than enough to laugh at the ironies, as most of them were misnomers
Nadigar thilagam Sivaji Ganesan
This name cannot be disputed as he is someone who has been appreciated by even Marlon Brando; moreover he was one who did almost all possible roles and could provide all expressions, though a little more than required , at times
Puratchi thalaivar MGR
It is a name that is indisputable, as he was a leader, nonetheless, but I am not aware of any revolution that he may have been responsible for. But still its not advisable to argue, considering the legend that, even this day there are people in interior Tamilnadu, who cannot tolerate hearing the fact that he is dead.
Kaathal mannan Gemini Ganesan
This sure was a name that is ergonomically correct as it reflected both his professional as well as personal life – I think nothing more needs to be told
Super star Rajinikanth
This is a name that has stuck on to a man who rose through the ranks. Though there are and were better actors than him, the man deserves praise for sticking to the top for so long and making run of the mill movies run so well. And towards the later part of his career, his public behavior has been quite spot on , except for the ill advised advices during the election times!
Ulaga nayagan Kamal haasan
This is one guy , who deserves the name he’s got – no, earned. I am damn sure ,he is the best actor to have come out this country and would have been so wherever he was born. However complicated his personal life may be, he definitely is an actor on par with any global star known
Purathchi kalaignar Vijaya kanth
I am not sure what sort of revolution he created with his acting skills; is it the back kicks he seems to perform with amazing ease considering his big paunch?
Supreme star Sarath kumar & Ultimate star Ajith kumar
“Supreme” and “ultimate” literally mean greater degree than “super” – you can really be sure that, these epithets don’t make sense!
Ilaya thalapathy Vijay ,Purathchi thalapathi Vishal and Chinna thalapthi Bharath
I don’t know which battalion they are commanding?? Do tell me if anyone of you knows!!
Navarasa naayagan Karthik
Does it mean that he the only one who could show all the expressions? I thought one could be an actor only if he could emote all feelings well!!
Yathartha nayagan Cheran
This is a an apt name , as he is the only one , who has never given into heroisms as an actor ; I guess he’s the only hero who has been hit by everyone and cried the most , even putting serial heroines to shame
Mirattal nayagan Jeevan
Except for the villain role in Kakha Kakha movie , I haven’t seen anything ferocious about his acting ( there too, it was more about using foul language unhinderedly , as in a real slum) except for the fact that he is choosing his roles carefully!
Little superstar Simbu
Though a talented fellow , of late only , he’s been realizing that imitating the big man wont take him very far. And I think that is a name that he has grabbed for himself , rather than being given!
Vaigai puyal Vadivelu
A popular actor, but the title gives an action image; which is totally far from his funny man roles, which make you happy as would a neat breeze!
I am not sure of other heroes’ titles; anyone who knows any other of these funny things can add a post!!
