Kamal Haasan

Well, this man’s talents have no parallels. If Rajni is a ‘one man industry’ then Kamal is a ‘one man film institute’. All aspects of film making rolled into one person- Kamal. You buy him and you are assuring quality and success of your film. He is the one whose voice can and has brought about new technologies into the industry. His company, Rajkamal productions is known for its quality of films.

This is one man no one in the film industry can overlook.

Rajnikanth

If the term ‘one man industry’ applies to anyone, then it is this man. He has his own style and his own rules. His films run because he is in them, the people of an entire state swear by his style. His films just cannot fail at the box office. He is the Superstar. Producers dream of getting his dates. Directors would give anything to be in charge of one of his films. He can make studios, units and stars wait for him to arrive.

But the most beautiful aspect is that he doesn’t wield his power and that makes him more powerful.

AVM Productions

Talk about tradition of Tamil cinema and one has to mention AVM productions. It has been around for more than 50 years now and has churned out more hits than any other production house in the south. It has been through a generation of actors from the Sivaji-MGR times to the Vijay-Ajith times. To work with AVM is a matter of pride for any actor. They may not be going through the best of times, but the aura around it still remains.

Coming soon from the stables of AVM will be Superstar’s Sivaji. That may signal the return to the top of the sleeping giant.

Mani Ratnam

This man’s fame is not restricted to Kollywood. He is arguably the best director in India. He stopped directing movies for other production houses a long time back. He does them only for Madras Talkies, his production house. He has worked with almost all big names in Indian cinema. There is not one big star who would decline an opportunity to work with ‘Mani’, even if it a simplest of assignments – like dubbing.

He has almost single handedly shaped the fortunes of actors like Aravind Swamy, Madhavan & Abhishek Bachchan. While working with this man, stars for once, become actors.

Ilayaraja

The maestro, the legend, the king of melody. Talk as much as you want about him and you still wouldn’t have finished. When he scores music, time stops. Where others look ordinary, he looks exceptional. His music is timeless and film makers are willing to give anything to get him score music for them. Considered close to both the political power centers of Tamil Nadu and revered by Superstars, super directors and top production companies,

Ilayaraja can get absolutely anything he wishes in the industry.
