I was only joking when I said Laxmi G. can do only villee roles. I did see her on UTube in some mallu version of Mastana Mastana where she could not muster even a malayalam sentance and spoke in english. Also on google, to find her one has to type lakshmi gopalsamy, where as Meena, tamil actress has many sites and been in 10's of movies as a heroine. How hard that role is to get.
Even legends like Trisha Krishnan and Sneha have not managed to act with the great superstar. Meena is one of his favorites. She has a masters or 2. Indeed an all time great. How she maintains herself! And how gracious of her to appear on small screen. Am sure she underperfoms just to accomodate the others. Vijay Adiraj is so perfect for her. BTW, an additional qualification I forgot to mention is, she is available!!! 😭 I know I stand no chance.
Hats off to Lakshmi Gopalaswamy
Sure. If she can contribute what Meena did to Kollywood, I'll eat that hat.
Jagdu, Meena was chosen to act with Superstar for one reason only. She acted with him in Anbulla Rajnikanth. Rajni actually did not want to act with Meena for sole reason she was his child star, but had to act with her as a lover/husband in Ejaman (if I am not mistaken). He felt awkard acting with her. But the director/crew members did lots of persuasion before he agreed.
After acting with Rajni in a couple of movies, Meena's career did not pick up. Yes, she acted with other heros but they were not box office hit except in Avai Shanmugi. That too because of Kamal.
Sneha's with Kamal, which became box office hit. To be frank Sneha can actually act. Her role with Kamal was far bigger than Meena's. All her movies have given the directors profit. Meena has years of experience whilst LG is a newly joined member. Education wise I am not sure what is both of their background. So I will not comment on that. But one having 2 degrees and the other have either something or none, doesn't make the other any less smarter. Nowadays, education can be bought. I can swear you on this.
Sneha and Tisha need not act with Superstars to be famous. They are doing it well on their on. As a child artiste Meena was great, but as an adult artiste, she is not so. With her beauty, came her arrogance. I can tell you, my brother's friends had first hand experience with Meena and her arrogance whilst she was in Malaysia. I have told this previously in the forum.
Only 10 films Jagdu. Tisha/Simran/Sneha have out beat that - I m sure. Given a chance LG too will make it in Kollywood.
Gracious to act in serial Jagdu? No, Jagdu - sorry to say this, but Meena is acting in serial for one reason only. She has lucked out in movies/Kollywood. She was only offered the role of sister/mother role in the movies. But Meena naturally had to refuse. So she switched to serials.
It is not about how many websites you own Jagdu, it is abt acting. I can create 10 websites for LG tomorrow. 😉
Whatever Sue said is all correct....... 😊
Why you don't have a chance Jagdu? If she is available and if you have all the qualifications her mother have listed, you can try your luck. You will never know. 😊
