Here’s a little-known fact about how Nambiar got into theater and became an actor after overcoming many hardships at an early age…
Although there are many villainous actors, MN is seen as the most unique of them all. believed Mesmerized by his acting skills, MGR cast him in many films as his own villain.

At that time, because he played the villain for MGR… he believed that he was the victim of many people’s anger. Do you know how Nambiar, the great artist who knows how to express villainy elegantly even by rubbing his hands and using his face, came to this cinema screen?
Thinking that why should we be a burden to them, that Nambiar joined Nawab Rajamanikammallai’s theater troupe. But he did not join the theater group as an actor. He worked as a chef’s assistant who cooked for the actors there. They got three meals and nothing but salary.
The troupe staged a play called “Ramadas”. A producer approached Nawab Rajamanikmallai to film the play. At that time Rajamanikammallai said, “Film liberally. But the actors who acted in this play should be cast in the film as well,” said Ram. As Nambiar also acted in that play, he got a chance to act in the film as well.
