Zitat des Tages von Radha Ravi:
Being on time is a practice I imbibed from my dad. He would be ready with make-up on at least three hours ahead of schedule.
All said, even an Aishwarya Rai and Shah Rukh Khan could not reproduce the magic of the original 'Devdas.'
It's a pity I have been stereotyped as a villain.
I cannot expect actor Prakash Raj, who is versatile across languages, to express solidarity with a cause.
There was a time in the 1980s when I worked in 22 films a year.
DMK is the only political party that enjoys the confidence of the people.
People say I use foul language. I learnt swear words only from my father and YGP.
I've done 290 movies and have lost 200 movies for my outspokenness.
For me, the character I play is most important.
Malaysian Tamil movies are amateurish, with songs picked up from our old Tamil movies and inserted in between.
When a director narrates a character, I find it normal to ask questions about the character's background, mood swings, eccentricities, behaviour... I do this to make my performance relatable. Directors who don't know their characters well find it difficult to answer these questions and, hence, find me annoying.
Every voter has a right to criticise a government and comment on its functioning.
Maybe actors are more passionate about cinema than actresses. Many heroines today seem unable to look beyond glamour.
Theatre owners cannot threaten actors with defamation cases and take them to court or seek compensation for losses incurred.
1971-79 was when I shared the stage with my father. We did more than 500 plays together. He was a hard worker, and learning from him was more than a delight. The way he faced challenges and political pressure was a treat to watch.
