#SIVAJI GANESAN HISTORY MOVIE#

I hope that people are able to feel his infectious vibrant energy and all the joy, passion, and pride that he took in his work when they see the Doodle. What message do you hope people take away from your Doodle?ДЄ. I was inspired by the nostalgia and the timelessness of his work, and my aim was to visualize that complex celebratory emotion in the best possible way. I also drew inspiration from vintage Indian film posters for the treatment and typography. You can tell that he loved immersing himself into the narrative of the characters he portrayed on screen, so I really wanted to represent his artistic range through the Doodle. I loved seeing the evolution of his looks across movies and all the eccentric facial hair he sported through the years. Sivaji Ganesan was known for his versatility and the variety of roles he portrayed on screen. Did you draw inspiration from anything in particular for this Doodle?ДЄ.

There was so much material to draw inspiration from! I really wanted to create something that encapsulated his essence and charisma and portrayed him in a way that did justice to his immense talent. I was also slightly overwhelmed soon after because Sivaji Ganesan has such an incredible legacy of work that spans across decades and is so universally loved and admired. IвЂ™d always dreamt of being able to create a Google Doodle someday, so I was really excited and honored when I was approached for this. What were your first thoughts when you were approached about working on this Doodle?ДЄ. It was an absolute honour to be able to pay a small tribute to him through my work. Although I did not grow up watching his movies, IвЂ™ve been exploring and appreciating some South Indian cinema since moving to Bangalore, so this came in as a beautiful coincidence. This Doodle gave me an opportunity to take a deep dive into the beautiful worlds he created through his many roles. Sivaji Ganesan is an iconic figure in Tamil and Indian cinema. The idea of celebrating someoneвЂ™s art, their story, and legacy is always so special and inspiring. Why was this topic meaningful to you personally?ДЄ.

Lights, camera, happy birthday, Sivaji Ganesan! Today, his legacy is carried on for international audiences through the performances of the many contemporary Indian acting greats who cite Ganesan as a major inspiration. The Indian government in 1997 honoured him with the Dadasaheb Phalke Award which is India's highest award in the field of cinema. In 1995, France awarded him its highest decoration, Chevalier of the National Order of the Legion of Honour. Other distinguished accolades came near the end of his career.

In 1960, Ganesan made history as the first Indian performer to win Best Actor at an international film festival for his historical movie вЂњVeerapandiya Kattabomman,вЂќ one of his biggest blockbusters with people remembering the dialogues from the movie even today. His best-known blockbusters include the trendsetting 1961 film вЂњ Pasamalar,вЂќ an emotional, family story considered one of Tamil cinemaвЂ™s crowning achievements, and the 1964 film вЂњ Navarthri,вЂќ GanesanвЂ™s 100th film in which he portrayed a record-breaking, nine different roles. Renowned for his expressive voice and diverse performances in Tamil-language cinema, Ganesan quickly ascended to international fame. He made his on-screen debut in the 1952 film вЂњ Parasakthi,вЂќ the first of his over 300 films spanning a nearly five-decade cinematic career. This regal stage name stuck and Ganesan carried the crown as вЂњSivajiвЂќ as he conquered the world of acting. In December 1945, Ganesan made a name for himselfвЂ“literallyвЂ“with his theatrical portrayal of 17th-century Indian King Shivaji. At a young age of 7, he left home and joined a theater group, where he started playing child and female roles then lead roles. On this day in 1928, Sivaji Ganesan was born as Ganesamoorthy in Villupuram, a town in the southeastern state of Tamil Nadu, India. TodayвЂ™s Doodle, illustrated by Bangalore, India-based guest artist Noopur Rajesh Choksi, celebrates the 93rd birthday of Sivaji Ganesan, one of IndiaвЂ™s first method actors and widely considered among the nationвЂ™s most influential actors of all time.
