Remembering Visu, Tamil Theatre and Movie, Writer, Actor and Director

The greatest social invention, if I may be allowed to call that way, is the family.  A healthy family represents the robust shock absorbers of the society. The family is not only a shock absorber but also the best insurance for any individual. Concern and care of our family members, have always bailed us out of trouble. 

Visu, over three decades focused  on themes that advocated the importance of the well being of families. More  importantly he wrote it in such a way that it was understood  by everybody in the nook and corner of the state. He seamlessly blended humour and sentimentality and served it consistently.

While K. Balachander may be called the Father of the Messages in Tamil Cinema, Visu, could be called the Father of Messages for the Family, in Tamil Cinema.

One does  not want to forget his brilliant work in Thillu Mullu.

Our family will never forget Visu, in his role in Kudumbam Oru Kadambam, where his role was a replica of my grandfather, Varadarajan Thatha,  in real life. A brilliant man who fooled away to glory. We were just stunned as to how they came up with a hundred percent match, in the way he walked, talked and behaved. Just attaching a brief clip.

Thank you, Sir, for entertaining us and also for making us think.

May your soul rest in peace.
