Didn't realise this version wasn't clear! Not aware if this was his first interview in an English publication but here's another I did in 1988 and a tribute too!! The more readers the merrier!!
@TheHinduCinema
On the birth anniversary of the visionary #ShankarNag, revisiting his first-ever English newspaper interview from March 6, 1983 (Sunday Mid-Day)
Pure candor on acting, directing, stage, and the trap of typecasting.

From the first time I interviewed #KamalHaasan in 1980 he's never asked me which publication it would appear in. Impressed with the quality of paper,pics and layout I wanted to write for @frontline_india . I interviewed Kamal as he drove me to the set of 'Khaki Sattai.

Decided I'd try #Frontline. Gave it to a journalist who sat on it and tried to pass it off as his own. Anyway #NRam liked it told me to sit in his office and make the introduction less adulatory!! A 41yrs old chat with the best actor I've watched onscreen.

A phenomenon was born 100yrs ago. He was 7 where he stunned the carnatic cognoscenti. I met him when I was six. Memories of time spent with him till he passed away are fresh. A flutist non pareil Semmangudi said he was a National treasure.

Politicians rule us but they don't even visit the loo without consulting a battery of soothsayers who identify 'Doshas' and offer expensive 'Parihara'.
The Gowda family should sack their astrologer for not identifying they suffer from MOBILE DOSHA!

A 13yrs old chat this day with @ikamalhaasan in Bangalore squeezed in on a busy day by request. The picture was taken by the FICCI chief!

It's 5yrs but yet to sink in that someone so physically fit can just pass away suddenly. He was pleasant and always smiling. 3 interviews from 2003-2010

Despite her tremendous height I've found #PVSindhu to be a clumsy mover on court but in the recent #FrenchOpen she seems to be gliding, reaching with economy of movement making it look easier. She has lost the hard fought final to #AnSeYoung but her game seems less cluttered!

#SmitaPatil would have turned 71,won a few more National awards,still turned heads when she entered a gathering and been the life of any party. More importantly her love for Prateik would have lent meaning to his life!! I saw how she smothered her nephew with love!!

As I started watching @tamiltalkies review #Jailer2 my son walked away saying, 'I don't want to watch him thrash a #Rajinikant movie.'
Well #BlueSattai was surprisingly kind,had some nice things to say about Thalivar and even declared the film is a super hit!!
The first half is mildly amusing.The second is a bloody mess littered with stars from various states helping or protecting hero.'Sir meduvva thirumbunga pathu nadenga,'is #Nelson directing #Rajinikath . 'That's enough,' fans will cry.Then this is what you deserve!!

In the 90s a friend from US wanted to visit Tirupati.Left in the afternoon in my Maruti 800.I had a 10 cassette pack called Anmol Ratan. Reached by evening finished darshan and back in bangalore by midnight. Possible only because of #KishoreKumar
4th Aug 1929-13th Oct 1987

#PremadaOorali is like compressed mega serial,loud with predictable twists and some over the top performances.I wouldn't compare it to #SuFromSo which was more relatable, earthy and less manipulative.But never argue with success. It's a massive hit and has struck a chord!
Bought two books
The title of the book on the right arguably aptly describes #JeffreyArcher the author of the other!!

This medical shop in our locality was closed for selling spurious drugs and according to the list below the license was cancelled. Someone known once bought a cancer drug for a quarter of the cost.Well within a fortnight he's back in business. Just a fine or....

I spent a weekwith the unit of 'Giddh'(1984)starring #SmitaPatil #Ompuri and a fledgling actor #NanaPatekar.Whispers were that he was the next big thing in Bombay because he'd been recommended by Smita for Aaj Ki Awaaz. The cast and crew were housed dormitory style on the

1st floor of a ministers bungalow.Nana arrived,quickly bonded and cooked for everyone veg only for me.He only wore clothes and Kolhapuri chappals made by inmates of Baba Amtes ashram.He felt #Kamalhaasan in Kokila was world class.Opinionated,irreverent but humane.That was Nana!
