It is impossible to be miserable and depressed whilst whistling.

I've admired Sivaji Ganesan ever since he staged 'Veerapandiya Kattabomman.'

People knew that I was a disciple of Sivaji Ganesan and wanted to honour his memory. In fact, I did a movie and play adaptation of 'Vietnam Veedu,' and used the song 'Un Kannil Neer Vadinthal' as part of the play.

'Vietnam Veedu' is nothing if you compare Nagesh's other works. He is the definition of humor in India.

Of course, I have not just been a Sivaji Ganesan fan but a fanatic.

Rhythm was a very strong element in KVM's music. He used to be called Udukkadi Mannan, because of his wide use of percussion instruments, which included ghata sanjari.
