An iconic presence in Tamil cinema for five decades, Sivaji Ganesan (1928-2001) is one among the most charismatic film actors of all time. He also served as a member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) from 1983 to 1986. Many awards and distinctions were conferred on this multifaceted personality, prominent among them being the Padma Bhushan (1984), Chevalier of Arts title of the French Government (1995) and the Dada Sahen Phalke Award (1996).
I will always remember his performances in Veerapandiyan Kattabomman, Manohara, Thiruvilayadal, and the recent Padayappa. There are many others which i am not citing. Nevertheless, Sivaji Ganesan was one of the most brilliant and 'original' actors ever present in the Tamil Film Industry.
