Politics in India is accused of being heavily dynastic. Well, sometimes cinema too gets dynastic. Almost everyone born in a family that has got a ‘not too bad’ connection with cinema does try their hand at the tinsel town. That is fine, but the overwhelming favorite amongst all aspirants seems to be the job in front of the camera, acting. A few also get interested in direction. But that’s about it! The other aspects are seldom acquired; they are mostly inherited like Yuvan did from Ilayaraja with great merit and commitment. But, there are only a few who have sidestepped the legacies that they inherited and chose to travel on a new path. That courage and conviction really needs to be applauded because it is never easy to be yourself when everyone is closely watching. Nevertheless, they had the gumption to choose with a difference and here we take a look at some of the most unlikely legacies of Kollywood.
