Nagesh is an unforgettable thespian of the bygone years. His rip-roaring comedy has regaled audiences for well over five decades. He also excelled in dramatic roles under the direction of K.Balachander. Remember, Edhir neechal, Neerkumizhi, Major Chandrakanth and Server Sundaram? One can say that KB brought out his hidden talent for serious characters. Many years later, he also played the villain in Apoorva Sahodarargal, which gave another dimension to his acting prowess. His son, Anand Babu rose like a meteor and played the hero in several films; but could not stay in contention for the top slot and faded away. It is KB again who has brought succor to him by making him the associate director of his next production, Idhaya thirudan. Anand Babu will be working under the film’s director Charan.
