yes, I really liked his performance in Emttan Magan - two spots where I couldnt control my emotions.

nepali was ok, nothing great. whats his next film?

**Fegasderty** · 01-05-2006, 08:00 AM

The list has most of the actors who can act. I disagree with the ordering. Versatility is not just *playing* different roles - how convincing the said actor was in those roles matters a lot.

Kamalahaasan
Maddy
Surya/Bharath/Dhanush

Nasser ellAm choice-la vittuttEn. Others don't qualify

**NeroASERCH** · 07-22-2006, 08:00 AM

I think we should exclude ppl like Prakash Raj and Nassar, who are supporting actors rather than main leads.

Nass

In fact theres more. Including the weird E.

**Raj_Copi_Jin** · 06-02-2009, 03:26 PM

According to Behindwoods, the top 10 versatile actors are as follows:

10. Prasanna / Prithviraj

9. Arya / Jeeva

8. Pasupathy

7. Madhavan

6. Nasar

5. Sathyaraj

4. Prakash Raj

3. Vikram

2. Surya

1. Kamalahasan http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-mov...ors/kamal.html

What do you think? Do you agree?
Or do you think someone who is truly versatile is not in the list?

**HedgeYourBets** · 06-02-2009, 03:47 PM

prithviraj, sathyaraj, arya and jeeva ... most versatile

**doctorzlo** · 06-02-2009, 03:53 PM

prithviraj, sathyaraj, arya and jeeva ... most versatile

jeeva is not

he has done a fair share of roles than the current and previous generation sothais. same for barath (bad that TFI villain perarasu came into his path

)

**Drugmachine** · 06-02-2009, 03:54 PM

Jeeva, without a doubt!

Prithviraj is like sugary sweet - thigatti pOchu

Arya - sarvam disappointed me tremendously.

**MannoFr** · 06-02-2009, 03:55 PM

yes, bharath has been spoiled by perarasu

and also his desire to be chinna thalapathy

**Lillie_Steins** · 06-02-2009, 03:57 PM

Prithviraj is like sugary sweet - thigatti pOchu

He made an impressive introduction with Kanaa Kanden. His role in his next film Parijatham was a refreshing change. But he continues to do the same kind of role in every film. Even expression is maintained the same throughout all his films. IMO, he should do some dark themed films like Sarvam. He did Sathampodathe but it was not that impressive.

**9mm_fan** · 06-02-2009, 04:03 PM

agreed completely

versatility and prithviraj is like earth and sky...

**LottiFurmann** · 06-02-2009, 04:08 PM

The kind of films that is being churned out mostly does not need versatile talents. The kind of films that need versatile talents are not using one that should be. There is a serious mismatch going on. Just because the film that requires a versatile talent, uses a severely undertalented actor, the said artiste somewhat acquires the "versatile" tag. I agree on some, disagree on some.

Why isn't Dhanush in it?

**Lillie_Steins** · 06-02-2009, 04:40 PM

Danush should try to do other roles than poor boy is jobless, father dislikes him, falls in love with rich girl, girl doesn't like him, girl likes him, family likes him, clash with villain and finally wins villain in a well choreographed stunt sequence in the climax.

Puthupettai is the only odd one I guess, other than his introductory films TI and Kadhal Konden.

**HedgeYourBets** · 06-02-2009, 04:46 PM

bharat is certainly versatile.. people turned on him because he acted under perarasu

he has shown lot of promise since his debut.. has given tremendous performances in chellame and pattiyal. he's not bad in comedy (feb 14).. and dance

best dancer of this generation.

he has also worKed with ShanKar for 3 movies... no mean feat.considering he's a dream for all main level heroes.

**Raj_Copi_Jin** · 06-02-2009, 05:19 PM

yes, I really liked his performance in Emttan Magan - two spots where I couldnt control my emotions.

nepali was ok, nothing great. whats his next film?

With Tammu

KAnden KAdhalai..(jab we met remake)..The hindi version was brilliant, tamil version eppadi irukumo

**doctorzlo** · 06-02-2009, 05:40 PM

bharat-Ku bad time start aayidichu..

**Slonopotam845** · 06-02-2009, 06:05 PM

**radikal** · 06-02-2009, 06:33 PM

can't agree more

**HedgeYourBets** · 06-02-2009, 08:40 PM

From the present creed of heroes, I would vouch for the following to be versatile:

Kamalahasan
Surya
Vikram
Jeeva
Bharath
Madhavan
Danush
