Viluppuram Chinnaiahpillai Ganesan Manrayar, commonly known by his stage name Sivaji Ganesan (1 October 1928 – 21 July 2001),was an Indian stage and film actor active during the latter half of the 20th century and was one of the most respected film actors in India. He was well known for his versatility and acting skills with numerous roles depicted on screen. He progressed from a stage actor since his childhood to the filmdom with such an authority that the Tamil cinema considered as the golden era. In a career spanning close to five decades he has acted in nearly 300 films in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Hindi.
Ganesan was the first Indian film actor to win a "Best Actor" award in an International film festival, the Afro-Asian Film Festival held in Cairo, Egypt in 1960. Many leading South Indian film actors have stated that their acting was influenced by Ganesan. He was also the first Indian actor to be made a Chevalier of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
Ganesan is remembered as the iconic figure of Tamil cinema. He is referred to as "The Marlon Brando of Indian Cinema". From Parasakthi onwards, he has won the President's Award for more than 12 times.During end of his career, Ganesan was conferred the highest and the most prestigious Dadasaheb Phalke Award for his contribution to Indian cinema in 1997. He received in 1998 the NTR National Award. In spite of his celebrated film career, his short stint in politics became a futile attempt.
Ganesan's inspiration for acting was inborn; when he got a chance to act on stage for a touring drama company he took it without his father's consent at the age of seven.At the age of 10, he moved to Tiruchirappalli and joined a drama troupe in Sangiliyandapuram and began to perform in stage plays. From the drama troupe trainers he was very lucky enough to learn acting and dancing skills. He was trained in Bharatanatyam, Kathak and Manipuri.
Ganesan was an intellectual boy who could remember lengthy lines easily and could present them to the audience brilliantly with perfection. This made him hero of the troupe in the long run. His outstanding portrayal of the character of Chhatrapati Shivaji in the stage play Shivaji Kanda Hindu Rajyam earned him the title "Sivaji" which was conferred on him at a public function presided over by E. V. Ramasamy, a social reformer. Since then, he was referred by the name "Sivaji".
1952–1959
Two factors can be attributed the entry of Ganesan into films: The principal artists in Tamil films during the 1940s and 1950s were Telugus, whose acting was not matched by their dialogue delivery in Tamil. (In fact, Sivaji Ganesan lent his voice to Mukkamala Krishna Murthy, a Telugu actor, for a Tamil film, Niraparathi. The film was well-received by the Tamil audience.) Secondly, the 1950s saw the growth of the Dravidian movement in Tamil Nadu, under the leadership of C. N. Annadurai and M. Karunanidhi. Their transformation of language skills to films through script writing, ensured their instant acceptance. Gansesan's entry in to films at this stage of popularity was easy and inevitable, and he could establish himself in a better position.Ganesan made his acting debut in the 1952 Tamil film Parasakthi, co-starring actress Pandari Bai. The script was written by the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M. Karunanidhi. Since actors who are well-trained in classical dance can effectively showcase expressions called Nava Rasa on their faces, Ganesan went on to become one of the popular actors in Tamil cinema in the 1950s. His unique voice had a greater appeal. His style of dialogue delivery with a long spell of dialogues — like a poetry recitation with much clarity — earned him critical recognition.
Andha Naal (1954) was a trendsetter in Tamil cinema because it had no songsand Ganesan played an anti-hero. The film won the president's silver medal the following year. The same year he co-starred with his rival M. G. Ramachandran in Koondukkili where he played the antagonist
Donning versatile roles: 1959–1964
His role in the film Veerapaandiya Kattabomman won him the Best Actor Award at the Afro-Asian Film Festival held in March 1960 at Cairo. Incidentally, Ganesan was also the first Indian actor to get an award for Best Actor abroad. He has worked with many actresses, including Bhanumathi Ramakrishna, Pandaribai, Vyjayanthimala, Savithri, Padmini, Devika, B. Sarojadevi, K. R. Vijaya, Vanisri and J. Jayalalitha of his time. He also co-starred with other actors such as Gemini Ganesan, S.S.Rajendran, Muthuraman, M. R. Radha and S. V. Ranga Rao in numerous films in which he played the main lead.1965–1969
His portrayal of Lord Shiva in the movie Thiruvilayadal won him lot of accolades. In the film Navarathiri (1964), Ganesan played nine different roles that represented the nine emotional states of a person. Sanjeev Kumar and Akkineni Nageswara Rao were inspired by this film and reprised the nine roles in Naya Din Nayi Raat in 1974 and Navarathri in 1966 respectively. Ganesan could strike a balance between commercial cinema, Mythological cinema and experimental cinema. His epical portrayals in films like Thiruvilayaadal, Thiruvarutselvar, Saraswati Sabatham, Harichandran, Thirumal Perumai, Karnan and Thillana Mohanambal won him critical acclaim. He played a variety of roles such as freedom fighters like Kappalottiya Thamizhan, Vanchinathan, Tiruppur Kumaran, Bhagat Singh and epic characters like Harichandra, Karna, Bharatha, Narada, Appar, Nayanmars and Alwars. Spanning genres like epics to Crime thrillers; from romantic escapades to comic flicks and action flicks, Ganesan has spanned it all.
1970–1979
Ganesan played supporting role to Rajendra Kumar in the Hindi film Dharti in 1970 which was a remake of his 1969 Tamil film Sivandha Mann, in which he played the lead role. In the Hindi version, Ganesan played the role which Muthuraman had essayed in the original. Several directors like Krishnan-Panju, T. R. Sundaram, A. P. Nagarajan, L. V. Prasad, B. R. Panthulu, T. Prakash Rao, A. Bhim Singh, K. Shankar, A. C. Tirulokchandar, C. V. Sridhar, P. Madhavan, K. S. Gopalakrishnan and K. Vijayan directed Ganesan in different roles.Though he accumulated awards throughout the 1950s and 1960s, it was in 1972 that Ganesan delivered his first blockbuster Vasantha Maligai. Other films like Gauravam, Raja Raja Chozhan, Thri Soolam, Thankappathakkam and Sathyam, released during this period were highly successful. Many of his films were inspired and remade in Sinhalese. Films like Pilot Premnath and Mohana Punnagai were shot in Sri Lanka with Srilankan actors such as Malini Fonseka and Geetha Kumarasinghe playing the female lead. In 1979, he appeared in his second and final all-time blockbuster Thirisoolam, adapted from the Kannada film Shankar Guru in which Rajkumar had played the lead role
Matured roles: 1980–1999
The 1980s was a period in which Ganesan started enacting more matured roles. But still films like Rishi Moolam, Yamanukku Yaman, Chiranjeevi had Ganesan portraying lead roles. Muthal Mariyathai (1985) won him a Filmfare Award and Tamil Nadu State film Award under Best Actor category. In 1992 he acted in with Kamal Haasan in the critically acclaimed Thevar Magan which won him a Special Mention Award at the 40th National Film Awards. His other films released during this period are Pasumpon, En Aasai Raasaave and Once More where he was cast in prominent roles. He worked in Poopparikka Varugirom which released as his last film before his death, however the last film he worked in before his death was Padayappa (1999).Until 1955, Ganesan was a staunch sympathizer of the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam. In 1961, he became a strong supporter of the Indian National Congress. Due to his popularity and his rival MGR's success in politics Ganesan entered politics and had to face big setback as he lost consecutive elections. But due to his proximity with the then prime minister Indira Gandhi he was made the member of Rajya Sabha in 1983. Indira Gandhi's death in 1984 also brought Ganesan's political career to an end. In 1982, Indira Gandhi made him a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha. After 1987, he left Congress and floated his own political party (Thamizhaga Munnetra Munnani). He became the president of the Tamil Nadu faction of the Janata Dal in 1989. Unlike his successful acting career, his political career was rather unsuccessful.
In Politics
Sivaji Ganesan’s political
career lacked direction and commitment. From 1946 to 1957, he was
aligned with DMK leaders like Anna and Karunanidhi. He says: “I have
never been a member of the DK or DMK. No doubt, I accepted the
ideologies of Anna and Priyar and tried to spread their message. I
accepted the principles for which the party stood, but did not become a
member.” Then from 1957 until 1975, Sivaji’s mentor in politics was
Congress leader Kamaraj. After Kamaraj’s demise, he shifted his
alliance to Indira Gandhi, until her death in 1984.
Indira Gandhi nominated
Sivaji, for the Rajya Sabha (Upper House) in 1982, after this post
became vacant following the death of Hindi actress Nargis (1928-1981). A
bout his performance at the Rajya Sabha, Sivaji reminisces: “If I
spoke my mind just became I was an MP, it would lead to squabble. I
went to Delhi to represent the woes of the film industry. I attended
the Rajya Sabha sittings, spoke about the ideals of Kamaraj at
opportune moments and instigated others to follow them. What more can
one do?” After Indira Gandhi’s assassination, Sivaji’s ties with the
Congress Party soured, which he attribute to tale carriers in the party
who are professional politicians. Strangely he never mention a
Congress Party big-wig’s name in Tamil Nadu (the likes of R.
Venkataraman, G. K. Moopanar, Kumari Ananthan, V. Ramamurthi, Maragatham
Chandrasekhar and P. Chidambaram) in his recollection.
About Rajiv Gandhi’s selection
and tenure from 1984 to 1989, Sivaji’s thoughts are as follows: “I
also played a part in making Rajiv Gandhi a politician and worked to
make him the prime minister. One should not forget that, should one?
Prior to the elections I met Rajiv Gandhi at the Governor’s residence. I
told him rather pointedly that there were many termites in the party
and that he must get rid of them, otherwise he could not become the
prime minister. Rajiv Gandhi’s face reddened on such a delicate issue
being brought out in the open. Quick to seize advantage, certain persons
of our State thought that the moment was just right to eliminate me.
They passed on some unsavoury information to Rajiv Gandhi about me.
They made me a scapegoat. I thought to myself that I did not need this
party and if I stayed, they would humiliate me further.”
On Jan.28, 1988, Sivaji quit
his ties with Congress Party that sustained him for over 30 years. Soon
after that, he established his own party named Tamizhaga Munnetra
Munnani (TMM) on Feb.10, 1988. He considers this decision as one of his
mistakes. “Many of the people with me were professional politicians.
They had to remain in politics necessarily to make a living. I was
compelled to start a party for their sake, although I did not require
it.” Egged on by those who pampered him, his TMM party contested the
January 1989 Tamil Nadu state legislative assembly elections, in
alliance with one faction of AIADMK (that of MGR’s wife Janaki
Ramachandran). Of the 49 TMM candidates who stood for election, none
were elected. Sivaji himself lost at Tiruvayaru constituency to DMK
candidate Chandrasekaran Durai by a margin of 10,643 votes. He notes,
“The votes that I secured came from people of another party. It is true
that I was defeated. This was a big disappointment and a very
difficult situation that I faced. What could one do? When we take wrong
decisions, we have to face disappointments.”
Later, Sivaji dissolved his
party and on invitation from his friend V.P. Singh (later to be prime
minister), he joined the Janata Dal and functioned for a while only to
quit later. His advice to artistes with political inclinations were:
“Be a friend to politicians but do not become a politician. Do not
become a member and get caught in the web…Remain a singer, don’t become
the song…this is my message.”
Plus and Minus
The plus points of the book
include, (a) a memorable assemblage of retrieved old photos of stage
plays and clips of movie stills, (b) an appendix providing a listing of
Sivaji’s 10 plays, staged by his troupe Sivaji Nadaga Mandram, 287
movie titles and another 18 movie titles that featured him in a
guest/honorary role. A notable demerit of the book is the absence of an
index, a common omission in Tamil books.
I located a slip in Sivaji’s
famed memory. He had noted that on his way to USA in 1962 as a guest of
cultural exchange program, he first landed in Rome. “I was scheduled to
join His Holiness the Pope for a meal, but unfortunately the Pope died
a week before my arrival and I did not get the chance to meet him.”
The fact is that Pope John XXIII died not in 1962, but on June 3, 1963.
Though he had seen three
generations of performers from age 7 to 70, Sivaji had been diplomatic
on commenting about the performances of fellow artistes – actors,
lyricists, music directors, playback singers, script writers and
directors. His comment was: “I am an actor and it would not be ethical
to comment on another performer. I will only say that he or she
performed well but will never comment on anyone’s ‘bad performance’.”
It appears that he never had his likes and dislikes. To the question
‘What was your salary for the film Parasakti?’ Sivaji had replied: “The highest salary I got those days was 250 rupees per month. This was my remuneration for Parasakti.
I received 25,000 rupees for each of the other projects. The 250
rupees salary was an honorarium and the 25,000 for my expertise as an
entertainer. As Sri P.A. Perumal was instrumental in giving me the
first opportunity, I agreed to a small remuneration from him.” That was
in 1952. One would be curious to learn, how much he earned for his
100th movie, Navarathri (1964), 200th movie, Trisoolam (1979) and for his final 287th movie Pooparikka Varukirom (1999). Information of his earning when he was at his peak are sadly missing.
On completing the 250 page
book, one gets a feel that much has been left out in this
autobiography. May be, the question and answer format adopted has a
role in such omissions. Proper, penetrating questions may have been
omitted for reasons of causing inconvenience for those who are living.
Sivaji’s taste on sporting interests (wild game hunting) had been
noted. But we are left clueless about his taste for books and authors –
how big was his library? his taste for music and movies (actors,
directors and technicians) in other languages. Not much information was
forthcoming on the business angle of his cinematic involvement in Tamil
Nadu. A few of Sivaji Ganesan’s professional associates (such as MGR,
Karunanidhi, poet Kannadasan, director C.V. Sridhar and script writer
Aroordhas) have left their impressions in Tamil. Among those I have
checked, quite a few details on Sivaji presented by Sridhar and
Aroordhas in their memoirs, are missing in this autobiography.
To sum up, as an actor Sivaji
Ganesan was a class act, as a politician he was a flop. As an
autobiographer, Sivaji’s performance – like many of his movies –
provides glimpses of some class in a flop, leaving much to be desired.
Eric Barnow and Krishnaswamy, in the 2nd edition (1980) of their book, Indian Film,
summed up on Sivaji: “He could view his own eminence objectively.
Those who sought his favour, he said, had mixed feelings toward him.
They wooed him but would also like to destroy him. Asked if the
dominance of the star was good for the industry, he said without
hesitation that it was not.” Ganesa Moorthy the gentleman, when he
passed away on July 21, 2001, took to his grave the hurt feelings and
the misdeeds of those who had benefited from him and who attempted to
destroy him. The $45.00 price I paid for the book in net purchase from a
New Delhi vendor seems marginally off-base for a 250 page book, and
the price has not been inserted in the book. But for fans of Sivaji, it
is a good memento to cherish.
Family
Ganesan was the second son of his family. He had two brothers. Ganesan married Kamala in 1952 and had four children.His younger son Prabhu is a notable Tamil actor. Ganesan established a film production company in the late 1950s, (now called as) Sivaji Productions, which is now being looked after by his eldest son Ramkumar. He has two daughters Shanthi and Thenmozh
Death
Suffering from respiratory problems, Ganesan was admitted to the Apollo Hospital in Chennai on July 21, 2001. He also had been suffering from a prolonged heart ailment for about 10 years.He died at 7:45pm (IST) on July 21, 2001 at the age of 72. A documentary, Parasakthi Muthal Padayappa Varai was made to commemorate Sivaji Ganesan's legacy. His funeral was attended by thousands of viewers, politicians and personalities from the South Indian film fraternity.
