Judge,

1) ARR's talent far outshines any film Shekar has done. It was his music in Dil Se that fascinated ALW and not his association with Shekar Kapur. By the time Bombay Dreams came in, ARR was a national icon and certainly international if you count his reach in other countries where Bollywood music is popular. Here is how recommendation works. IR gave Nanda to YSR. I doubt ALW was responsible for the other international projects ARR did, or will do in the future. ARR came up solely due to his work/talent.

2) When MR wanted to join the cine field, he didn't go to GV. He approached other producers and did small movies. He gave a blockbuster film in 86 and followed up with hits till 92. He as a director gained more popularity and GV was more popular as maniratnam's bro until Mani did films for him.

MR was lucky in the sense that he came in the 80s. One can overcome a couple of flops. But that's not the case nowadays, for anyone. I am surprised at the suggestion. GV as a producer became popular in the 90's, but pls correct me if I am wrong on that.
1. I am damn sure that Shekar Kapur was the one played Dil se song (chaiya chaiya) to ALW and he liked it. It came out in many interviews during BD initial days. So SK indeed introduced arr to ALW to get the BD project. I did not say that ALW was/is responsible for arr getting other projects.

2. Come on, you got to be kidding. I heard that GV was very popular during 80s when MR was not even there in the scene. His Sujatha Films was a fast growing distribution company at that time. Later he turned his distribution company into a production house. If I am not wrong, MR's first tamil film (Pagal nilavu) was indeed produced by GV.
