An acting legend whose fame stretches across
the country, he started his career decades
before his tryst with this director. But what
makes their union an event of historical significance
is that the film Nayagan changed the course
of both their lives forever. Mani’s
movies got greater recognition, Kamal started
challenging himself more and his ever increasing
appetite for variety became even greater.
Not to mention the national award he received
for his performance in this masterpiece.
