Sivaji Ganesan - Acclaim

Acclaim

Sivaji Ganesan is considered as one of the best Indian actors of all time. He was also acknowledged as a consummate actor and one of the most imitated ones. He was praised for his body language and his resounding voice and dialogue delivery. Ganesan is known for his versatility and has acted as a blind man, a physically handicapped person in Bhaagapirivinai, a man with a scarred face as in Deiva Magan a murderer in Pudhiya Paravai, or a traitor as in Andha Naal which had no songs at all. However, he has been often criticized for overacting by then his arch rival M.G.Ramachandran. Film Buffs and Critics opine that Sivaji Ganesan was performing at an average of 8 films per year while his arch rival M.G. Ramachandran could do only 3 - 4 films per year. Ganesan, being a very producer friendly hero was ever a profitable star for his distributors. This could have prompted Ganesan's arch rival M.G.Ramachandran in trying to defame Sivaji Ganesan's popularity.
