Looks like Surendra bad days will be gone soon. His Son has acted as Junior Vikram in Anniyan and he has dubbed for Nedumudi Venu.

I agree with you. If what Surender says is true, he definitely deserves a support but in today's world, every day is a challenge and no one should depend on others for footholding. In that sense, I will not support Surender but he was one of the recognised figures in industry through Mohan. In a way, he should thank Mohan for making his voice popular as people came to see Mohan only and not Surender.

Balaji, your statement is something peculier.
Surendhar's voice became popular because of Mohan..??. No, only Mohan became popular through Surendhar's appreciable voice.

Once Surendhar told in an interwiew that, he gave voice for him more than 60 films (that time), but when he personally invited Mohan for his marriage, he did not attend. He also commented to one of his co-actor "Why should I go to his marriage?. He is doing his duty and I am doing my duty" like that.

If SNS tried a full time career as playback singer and competed with the likes of SPB & KJY who were ruling in his days, what he would have become?

Simply because he caught on the opportunity of dubbing for 3rd line heroes, he survived for a while in the industry...otherwise he would have been long gone....and he was really fortunate that his few songs with Raja that became popular helped people to identify his voice with Mohan's & others...that he was even known to the public as the one behind the scenes is a miracle...there had been dozens of them who were unknown...(perhaps their name was shown on the title card later on, by some directors who wanted to recognize them, still nobody is remembered by name, like this loud mouth)...

After getting such publicity, he should have made use of it by - say making money through stage shows when he was at his prime / sliding, or by switching to dubbing in chinnaththirai, ad commercials etc...foreseeing his movie chances will dwindle some day due to his limited capabilities...

Failing to make use of the footing he already had in the glamour industry and pulambifying later on - that too throwing dung on others - is so silly...EnappA avarukku ingE ivvaLavu anudhAbam? IMHO, it is probably his attitude which kept people away...public'la thittaRavar, private'la evvaLavu saNdai pOduvArO...

Madhu....

S.N.Surendar is not much that much big, to create oppertunities by himself. But still he is in a position that somebody should give oppertunity for him.

But no doubt many had benefitted by him and he got benefited from them. The main thing is who are benefitted from him are in good position, whereas he still down than before.

So it is quit natural, he expect support from them and when he was neglected by them, his disappointment will come out like this.

You told about Vijayakanth...ok.

But Mohan...??. Ecerybody know about him.

[tgs]

Dear Sharadhajii,

I think even Asokan also tried a couple of movies.... Netru indru naalai... and this was after going out of his fame...
Not sure whether he made some money out of this movie...

Very few smart guys were there I feel... like Sivakumar, Jaishankar, Gemini Ganesan... who did not venture anyting risky.. instead built properties and preserved their earnings.

Savithri, I believe was cautioned by Gemini, not to invest in movies but she did not listen to him and lost heavily ... I heard about this sad news.

[tgs]

Probably Surendher's style could match only for Mohan and that could be the reason for him getting marginalised with Mohan movies only.
Apart from that rarely I came across his voice except for ads like Idhayam nallaennai !!

I still wonder Surendher is coming out so openly to express his concerns .

Ultimately blood is thicker ... some day or other the entire family will be with Surendher and we will be left wondering !!

It is really unfortunate that u blame SPB for the flop of sippikkuL muththu-just because he is from Telugu origin.

Those days, dubbed movies and dubbing were done way too casually unlike todays CM and anniyan.

Almost 95% of dubbed movies had failed. And the dubbing was awful no matter who gave the voice.

Could you give me few successful dubbed movies in the mid-eithties and the dubbing had been done perfectly by KH or whoever, please?

[Beerinkol]

Hello Sharadhajii,

On Surendher vs Mohan… who got benefited…. I wish to share my views.

We are all aware, Mohan’s movies were silver jubilee hits due to IR and good picturisation and other contributors….
In the process, Mohan got lot of movies….. and Surendher got the opportunity to give voice for Mohan…. Through this… Surendher also got opportunities to earn and save money….
In a way, Mohan had indirectly paved way for Surendher’s popularity… though Mohan also got identified through Surendher…..

Hence, there is no point in Surendher feeling sad on Mohan....

Both were mutually benefitted

[brraverishhh]

Which means the next generation also has taken over the role of voice dubbing ....

God bless them...

Let the son of Surendher have the same sweet voice and make wonders ....

[Lt_Apple]

Kamal dubbed for Salangai Oli.... Based on the success of Salangai Oli, Kamal demanded huge sum for dubbing Sippikul Muthu in Tamil...(almost close to full movie pay?!)

Thats when producers had SPB dub for Kamal... (I think SPB regularly dubs in Telugu for Kamal's Tamil movies)... thats when the rift started between Kamal and SPB.

IMO, SPB should not have dubbed for Kamal in Tamil.... as he is a big star in TN and his movies have good business scope.

I do not think anybody will say SPB dubbing had Telugu Vaadai...SPB's tamil is perfect.

[Peptobismol]

Sorry Digression:

(pAttu poruththamA pAduRavar...idhu periya kashtamA enna)...

==> I politely disgaree. SPB gets A++++++ (or whatever is the highest possible rating) in his singing, when he sings in Tamil (Heard the same in Kannada in addition to his mother tongue Telugu). However IMHO one reason why Sippikul Muthi failed is because SPB voice sounded totally alien what with lot of Telugu Vadai.

Purely My opinion

End Digression

Poor Surendar. I think Vijay would have helped him but he is very much under the influence of his father SAC. I heard from the manager of a big theatre in chennai (who happened to be our family friend) that SAC would visit theatre to check their stereo system and facility before screening vijay movie. So vijay help here is out and coming to Mohan. Mohan himself is very bad position. The other day when I was in chennai, I saw him applying for passport renewal. He had come personally to come and apply. See what happen to a man who was once came almost close to be called Super Star

This is Cinema.. Sorry this is world.

[PhillipHer]

Other than Mohan… for whom did Surendher did voice dubbing ?

Probably for Pratap Pothen for some time ?? And also for Bhaskar ( who was the brother to Revathy in Mounga Ragam )

[Ifroham4]

Dear Alias....

The main reson for the bad situation of Mohan is, because of his own production.

This is the main drawback, negative side, or even we can call as foolishness of our actors and actresses, producing their own movies. Every actor, who produce own movie cannot become a MGR Pictures, Shivaji Production, or Sujatah Cine Arts (Balaji). We can add some two three more who got success, or who can raise again after a failure.

But the actors and actresses, who were defeteated will be more to a big list. Starting from Savithri, Sowkar, Sreepriya, jayachitra, Gemini Ganesh, Jaishanker, Ravichandran, Rajkiran, Roja, Devayani, Rambha....all were defeated by their own movies. Still we can see Roja and Rambha, wandering in court varandas. Mohan is one among them.

The main reason is they are being tempted and brain washed by marketless directors and story writors, to produce own movies.

The big wonder is, even after seeing the defeat of their co-artists, they are entering in it, and loose all money, which was earned for several years.

But according to Mohan, he did not show any kindness on Surendhar, even when he was in good position.

[doctorzlo]

Stranger,

I think Kamal's irunilavugal was a dubbed movie and it was a hit

Was it?!

May be you are correct, but I am not sure!

However, I must admit that "salangai oli" certainly did do good business for whaich K gave the dubbing voice. 8)

APP..

I will vouch for your views.

Somebody with self belief will never look for others to sympathise him or support him.

Today’s world is so thankless …. One should not depend on others for any foothold…. Ok … if you need somebody to have a beginning for your life… but not for ever.

[Raj_Copi_Jin]

One of my favourite Surendher song is... Devan koil deepam onru..in Naan paadum paadal.

but I am not sure whether the song picturised was his or of SJ's ..

Poor guy , he lost here also !
