My Take

Sivakumar is a giant in the truest sense. Born Palaniswamy in Coimbatore in 1941, he trained as a visual artist at Chennai's Government College of Fine Arts before becoming an actor, and that origin fascinates me. Across some 195 films, mostly in Tamil cinema since his 1965 debut, he won three Filmfare Awards South and two State Film Awards, then circled back to painting in later life. I love that his career bookends with art on both ends. A man whose entire life reads like a single, deliberate work deserves real reverence, and he has mine.
