த.செ. Surya Beam – Jai Beam directed by Gnanavell. Rao Ramesh played the role of Attorney General in this film. He has acted in over 120 films in Telugu with many leading heroes.
Rao Ramesh says about his role in Jai Beam:
I was pleasantly surprised to hear that I was the only one suitable for the role. I made a loving request to star in it. I said I would be dubbing for the character I was playing. No matter what the character, no matter what the language, it will only come to life if we act on it and speak in our modulation – I am of the opinion that the character will improve. That’s why I asked that. I gladly acted when he agreed to it.
Not only that, Tamil is a beautiful language. That is why people from any state who come and live in Tamil Nadu start speaking in Tamil.
I grew up entirely in Chennai. I studied at Ramakrishna in Thiyagaraya Nagar. So you can speak Tamil cleanly without mixing other languages.
Jai Beam was released in five languages besides Tamil and Telugu. To me, not just fans but many professionals, especially legal professionals, would be like the Attorney General. I was happy to hear how you were able to act like that. The reason for this is the director. He bought acting from me without changing that amount of how much he wanted to laugh and how much he wanted to be angry.
The character is no villain except for the one against Surya. Really responsible officer. He must fulfill his responsibility. The dignity of the police as a whole must be protected by trusting him. Not only that but the government should conduct the case without tarnishing it. That responsibility must emerge from what he speaks. He needs to know in behavior.
“Did you tell the judge that I am Azhar for today ..?” When I came into the court, all the lawyers stood up and greeted me and the judge inquired about the superiority of the character. Everyone who saw the film praised me for that performance. All praise should go to the director who set up such a scene. That’s why that body language came to me automatically when I played that character.
“My father, Rao Gopal Rao was the record holder who acted in over four hundred films in Telugu. He was the villain of all the heroes he had then. It is true that that talent is innate in me.
But, he did not say or look at me and I decided to act. I have no desire or intention to act if asked more. I was interested in photography. I started my career as a photographer in Chennai. Later I became an assistant cinematographer and worked in many films. The intention was to become a director after learning it fully. That’s when my dad passed away unexpectedly.
I told my mother (Kamala Kumari) of my desire to become a director so that I could have the responsibility of leading the family. Mom said, “Who’s going to give you a movie ..? It takes a lot of experience. If you want to cast others you have to understand acting first. Learn it first ..!” said.
I understood the reasoning behind what my mother was saying and I started acting. My mother, who saw my performance, said, “From now on you will be so busy that you will not even have time to talk to me ..!” said. I am a busy actor today, fulfilling the vow of my mother who made Harikatha gallant on 5000 stages.
The reason why my performance in Jai Beam was brilliant was because of Surya Saree’s naturalness. He does not have the bandwagon of a leading protagonist, Baguette. He treated everyone on the set with the most natural respect. It was that character that made not only me but everyone act better.
He is the best actor. Not only that but the best man. I went to the mountains when I heard others tell me about him on the set. It was amazing when thousands of students not only get education through the Agaram Foundation he runs but also get higher education abroad.
Now, as a producer of the film, he has given the message of social development and has donated one crore rupees of the profits to the welfare of the tribal people. To whom does this lofty soul come! Everyone in his family is polite.
In the Tamil that I love … I have a desire to continue acting in the Tamil Nadu where I grew up. The big directors are talking after watching Jay Beam. He said it would be appropriate to say the end of the film.
