Truly amazing action/director. I like malgudi days… BTW, I think you should do a spell check before posting ‘Kanannada’ -> Kannada Yes. And you arrived little earlier than I expected. I clicked on “publish” instead of “save” and was doing the spell check I like “ondhanandhu kaaladhalli” in addition with Minchina Oota and Accident. We miss him. His best is oMdaanoMdu kaaladalli Accident still holds top poistion in my favourite movies list. Each character in movie is just brilliant.Best thing about Shankar Nag was , theatre wasn’t stepping stone for him to join movies.He was always active in theatre too.No replacement for him in Industry or in India as he was one of the most brilliant,technically sound director.We really miss him. One terrific guy… The icon for Auto drivers… And there is no replacement for him… BTW have you read Anant Nag’s book on him - ‘nanna tamma shankara’. ? Shankar Nag is one of the greatest actor/director the Indian film industry has ever seen. He had a great vision for the Kannada film industry & also for the whole state. In 90’s itself he realized the need for metro rail system for Bangalore & even prepared a report on that. But, after that it took many years for our govt. to realize the same. everything i wanted to say has been said before. i loved malgudi days! the theatre ranga shankara i think has something to do with shankar nag..isnt it? Yes. RangaShankara is the theatre built in memory of Shankar Nag by his wife Arundhathi. In your next visit to Bangalore make sure to watch a play there. Itz not just movies or TV or theatre, he was into everything. He had dreamt of Metro for Bangalore.. sad that we are still not there.. Shankar Nag’s energy and enthusiam has inspired and motivated me many a time and continues to do so. Miss you. I still remember Malgudi Days. It was brilliant - simplistic, clean entertainment. Nice blog you have. I’ve been checking so many blogs nowadays through blogadda.com i love shankar nag, still he is alive in indian people heart’ happy birthday “guru” Shankar !!!! simply great personality.. which we can’t see in future..
