Revolutionary leader MGR used to be an actor with a good humanity beyond his status as an actor in Tamil cinema. MGR, who made his debut in Tamil cinema with Sathilelavathy, accepted NS Krishnan as his spiritual guru in cinema.
NSK is one of the reasons why MGR is still talked about as such a special person and a political leader who is loved by people. Because it was MGR who grew up watching him in cinema.
Chitralachmanan cites the incident as an example of MGR’s outstanding humanitarian act.
He said on his YouTube channel. MGR and Jayalalitha have appeared in many films. Jayalalithaa has acted opposite MGR in almost 28 films.
The film ‘Kannan En Valanthan’ is considered to be a specific film in that regard. In that movie, Jayalalitha played a disabled person who could not walk. In Mukkal Vasi, Jayalalithaa will be sitting in a wheelchair. This picture is p. Directed by Neelakandan.
At one point, MGR, who was leaving for home after the day’s shooting, asked Neelakandan, ‘What scene are you going to shoot this afternoon?’ To which he said, ‘I am going to shoot the scene where Jayalalitha falls from the floor and falls on the stairs’.
On hearing that, MGR said ‘Oh really? Take care while shooting that scene, it is a life involved’ and instead of going home, he stayed on the set till the end of the scene that day. Apart from that, he watched and rehearsed the scene and fell down.

After that Jayalalitha acted in that scene. It’s not just for Jayalalitha, MGR will do the preparations if they are going to shoot any biographical scenes. We have lost so many honorable actors and leaders.
