   Thanks ba. btw indu la anda puking line padicha odanne I thought of your blog.

   What do you think of the fact that our industry takes genetically gifted hero material ( ie. tall, athletic, somewhat handsome, genuine talented ) folk like Raghuvaran, Nizhalgal Ravi, Suman, Sathyaraj etc. and shunts them to villian roles while 5′6″ midgets like Kamal or horribly ugly mugs like gaptain vijayganth hold the hero fort ? Can you imagine our indi neighbors casting tall Hrithik saar as villian and chunky sweater midget Rishi Gaboor as hero wearing platform shoes & standing on a stool as he did opposite sridevi in umpteen movies ? Oh wait…

   Dei Vetti Payal,

   Why should only tall , athletic, somewhat handsome folks be heroes? That is the question
   Why cannot midgets be heroes or why cant ugly mugs be heroes?

   The guys you mention were not good dancers. Sathyaraj danced and so became hero. That aside how did T. Rajendar, Thyagarajan and Rajkiran become heroes? They made their own movies.

   hmmm…
