Y Gee Mahendra My first films - Navagraham and Nootrukku Nooru - were both under KB and a few years later, I did Manmadha Leelai with him. He dubbed for the role, saw the rushes, and loved it.Īs students - for Kamal and I – this film is a fitting tribute to KB sir. KB sir then came up to me and said sorry he said that this word comes to him out of sheer habit. He made a mistake and immediately said, ‘Cut’. There was a scene that required him say a long dialogue. His character’s name in the film is Margadarshi (guide). I met him again and spoke about the film at length and he agreed to do it. When we met him, he wasn’t too keen on acting. Kamal had scripted a particular role keeping him in mind.

Life came to a full circle when I met him again when I was directing Uttama Villain. My most memorable roles have been given by KB sir.

He introduced me to the Kannada, Tamil and Telugu film industry. He asked me to relocate to Chennai and ever since, he gave me the best.

But my greatest gift from him was doing the TV serial Sahana, the part 2 of Sindhu Bhairavi, and. He rewrote cinema like Sridhar did before him. That was KB sir he had X-ray eyes when it came to spotting talent. In the next 45 minutes or so, he said I am doing the film. Someone referred my name and I went there only to impress him. Ramesh Arvind: Balachander sir was on the lookout for actors to do the Kannada remake of Sollathan Ninaikiren. This world will not see another director like KB sir. His loss feels like I have lost a bit of myself. He was not only my guru, he was like a father to me, he was my guide. Rajinikanth: KB sir's death is a big loss to the world of cinema. Industry stalwarts, introduced to cinema by one of Tamil cinema’s most respected personalities, K Balachander, talk about the man. No other director has been in tune with the audiences like him for four decades. For this role, he asked me to change my body language and the tone of my voice, to give it a dignified colour and the end result was that it is still remembered as one of my best roles. He stood his ground with the TV channel to give me that role and believe me, every day, he would call me to appreciate my performance and guide me for that day's episode. Those two years of doing the serial were like doing PhD in acting. But my greatest gift from him was doing the TV serial Sahana, the part 2 of Sindhu Bhairavi, and that too in the lead role of JKB. During my college days, we would see his movies like Server Sundaram and Bhama Vijayam thrice in a row on the same day. Of course, even before that, as a dramatist, I’ve been mesmerized and inspired by his stage plays. So, I started my career with the best in the trade.
