Remember the hit film Nattamai, directed by KS Ravikumar? The popular film hit the silver screens on the occasion of Diwali on November 2, 1994. It boasted a star-studded ensemble including R Sarathkumar, Khushbu Sundar, Meena, Vijayakumar, Goundamani, Senthil, Raja Ravindra, Ponnambalam, and others. The film completed a 175-day run at the box office and became a blockbuster among 1994 Diwali releases. Lead actor Sarathkumar won both the Filmfare Award for Best Actor-Tamil and the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in the movie.
The story revolves around a wealthy man who is known and revered for his just nature all over the region. His brother gets married to an arrogant girl, while others are continuously plotting against this family. Senthil played the role of a father who used to eat a mixture during a riot as if nothing had happened. He had no dialogue in the film, he used to only eat mixtures.
This film garnered huge appreciation during the time of its release and is still the fodder for many memes today, especially the character-eating mixture. But have you ever wondered who that person eating the mixture is in the action-drama comedy? How did he get the chance to play the role? Recently, film director KS Ravikumar revealed the secret about the person who played the role of the mixture.
KS Ravikumar said, “The character who played the role of mixture was an electrician. If I used to tell this character to turn the light on, it would turn it on, and if I told him to turn it off, he would turn it off. It was the only work of the person, he did not do any other work. He used to sit in the same place.”
Upon the film’s release, his character garnered positive responses from movie buffs and critics. Continuing to praise the character, KS Ravikumar said that the actor who played the role of mixture is now famous in memes.
