Tributes
- P. Vasu (Director) :
“If there was anyone who could act with both the top heroes (Sivaji Ganesan and M. G. R.) of Tamil cinema then, it was Nambiar. At one point, directors could not think of anyone else but him to play villain.”
- Srikanth (Actor) :
“This is a very big loss…you cannot find a human being like him easily.”
- Manorama (Actress) :
“He was a villain only when the camera got rolling…otherwise, he’d always keep us laughing with his ready wit,”
- K. Raman (Make-up man) :
“In ‘Nenjam Marappadillai,’ he plays a really old man…the makeup would take hours together, but he would be extremely patient. His skin was flawless and almost pink…he took great care of his health.”
- Sundaram (Dance master) :
“Nambiar sami was responsible for taking most of us in the industry to Sabarimalai”
- J. Jayalalithaa (Politician) :
“I have acted with him in several films. He would be very jovial and enthusiastic on the sets. When one worked with him, one forgot the burden of work. He was very fond of me and I always had great regard and respect for him. His passing away is a great loss indeed.”
