Comedian is not always funny

  • IndiaGlitz, [Sunday,January 23 2005]

We are not going to take names here. But as you read the story you will understand the man in question.

He is now the number one comedian in Tamil. There are no doubts about that. His earthy comedy was the feature of almost all the films recently in Tamil. Suddenly he has reached a level where even well established actors and stars wait for his call-sheet to get him in their films.

Obviously this is a big achievement for a man who had reached this level after having started his career as a one-bit sidekick.

But the problem is that the success seems to have gone to his head. He is now reportedly reporting late for his shoots. He is said to have come late for the superstar's film now underway in Hyderabad.

The director of the movie was hardly amused when the comedian's late-coming became a regular feature. On one day he reportedly lost his cool temperment. But only the big star, who is a model of patience and rectitude, saved the day for the comedian.
